KISUMU county Women representative
Rose Nyamunga has come out gun blazing condemning an ugly incident in which
ex-premier Raila Odinga was caned by an elderly man in Kwale for allegedly
dancing with the man’s wife.
Nyamunga rubbished claims that the
elderly man who attacked Raila and Kwale governor Salim Mvurya was a mad
person.
The elderly man was stopped and
whisked away by security guards but only after he managed to beat the two
politicians.
Nyamunga ruled out already advanced
excuses including a claim that the old man was a known mad person in the region
and questioned why he only managed to settle on the two leaders in such a
packed gathering.
The women leader has also differed
with governor Mvurya on his attempts to downplay things by stating that it was
within their culture for such crude actions to be meted on leaders during such occasions.
‘ Theirs is nothing like culture in
this matter, many leaders including former heads of state visited the region
and they were never treated to such embarrassing moments and again the former
PM could have been informed in advance if it was true it’s a cherished culture
within the community’’, Nyamunga pointed out.
She called on the government to
consider beefing up CORD leader’s security saying it was wrong for the government
to act negatively on matters to do with security.
The rally, which was attended by ODM
officials, was interrupted by the incident but was hurriedly sorted out the man
being guarded to ensure he does not spin out of control, again.
