Mudavadi chides Raila, says he is under Uhuru's control

ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi has accused the ODM leader Raila Odinga of being remote-controlled by  President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Kenya Kwanza Alliance took its campaign to Kajiado County on Tuesday to woo the Maasai community votes.

Speaking in Kajiado county where he accompanied deputy president William Ruto and Ford Kenya's Moses Wetang'ula for campaigns, Mudavadi said the ODM leader is being directed on nearly everything.

“Sasa mkubwa wake, ambaye ni patron wa Azimio Rais Uhuru Kenyatta ameshika remote control. Akimwambia Raila enda left anaenda left. Akisema enda right anaenda right, akisema ruka juu anaruka juu, akisema pose anapose,” Mudavadi said.

Loosely translates to: "Azimio patron who is President Uhuru is the remote controller of Raila Odinga. If he directs him left, he moves to the left, if he says right, he moves to the right, if he tells him to jump, he jumps, if he asks him to pose, he poses".

Mudavadi insisted that Raila is a state project even as he appealed to Kenyans to reject him on the ballot.

He also said the alliance is united in its bid to capture the presidency come August 9, elections.

The ANC leader further warned the government against instilling fear among its citizens saying Kenyans should be allowed to choose their leaders freely.

“We want a government that shall be respected by the people of Kenya but not feared. There is a difference between fear and respect.”
