Eldoret North MP William Ruto and Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s brother Omondi Odinga were booed by youths at a rally in Ogembo town.
The two were jeered after they made anti-Raila remarks.First to be heckled was Omondi whose speech was interrupted after he mentioned that he supports the Jubilee Alliance even though he is Raila’s brother.
Do not tell us about your family but why you are here. We are not interested in your background, the youth shouted.Omondi who is the last born son of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga was forced to cut short his speech after the youth insisted that he hands over the microphone to Makadara MP Mike Sonko.
You should not attack your brother. Hand over the microphone to Mike Sonko, the youth said.Omondi gave the microphone to North Mugirango/ Borabu MP Wilfred Ombui who later invited Sonko to speak.
“You must learn to speak in public. You must at all times avoid mentioning the name of somebody who is not around,” a drunk youth shouted.
Ruto was booed when he said Raila will lose the presidential race.Ruto said numbers make the difference in elections and Jubilee has a larger following than Cord.
“Ushindi ni kwa kura nyingi ama chache? (The most number of votes determine the winner),” he told the crowd.Ruto irked the youth further when he said that Raila is fighting a lone battle because he was abandoned by his allies.
“He alone so I am wondering how is going to make it. We abandoned him because he was not reliable,” he added.On realising that the crowd was not pleased with the Raila talk, Ruto changed tactic and asked the youth to vote for Jubilee because it is made up of youthful leaders.
The jubilee team ended its two-day tour of Kisii and Nyamira on Monday, with its presidential aspirant Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and Ruto calling for peaceful elections.
