‘God Will Punish You’: Wetangula Fumes After Raila Denied His Bro Wanyonyi ODM Ticket

[ad_1]

Ford-Kenya party boss Moses Wetangula has accused ODM Raila Odinga of unfairly refusing his brother, Westlands MP Tim Wanyonyi, the chance to contest for Nairobi gubernatorial post.

Wetang’ula termed the decision to give Polycarp Igathe the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya ticket “wicked”.

“God will punish you as people who have been harmed watch you. Do you recall what he (Raila) did to Cleophas Malala and Chris Wamalwa? Tim Wanyonyi, the Westlands MP, was the most popular candidate for Nairobi governor this time around. But he has taken the opportunity away from him and given it to someone else, despite the fact that Tim is a disabled person,” bemoaned Mr Wetang’ula.

anyonyi was persuaded to forego his gubernatorial ambitions and instead defend his parliamentary seat in a deal arranged by Odinga.

“How much more can he do to a normally abled person if he can do that to a PWD? It is a heinous conduct, and God will punish you for it. You will not be forgiven by the Mulembe community,” the Bungoma senator said.

Mr Wanyonyi decided to defend his Westlands MP seat four days ago, according to Odinga.

“Consultations have been ongoing for the past few days, and I’m pleased to inform that they have come to a close, and we’re now ready to introduce Team Nairobi for Azimio la Umoja One Kenya,” the former Prime Minister said.

Speaking in Bungoma, Wetang’ula said the “betrayal” of his brother was akin to the former Prime Minister’s 2018 ‘Handshake’ with President Uhuru Kenyatta, adding that Odinga had kept his partners in the National Super Alliance in the dark about the move.

“On live television, we only saw him smiling and shaking hands with the President. Despite the fact that we had withstood the scorching sun together and had our vehicles ruined due of him, he did not consult us or seek for our advice. Now he is desperately looking for us, and we have told him it’s a little too late.”

“We want a Kenya where even a Pokomo can be president, and where everybody has a valid dream that can be realised in their lifetime,” he stated.
