Tharaka Nithi Senator Kithure Kindiki has apologised for his remarks that were misconstrued to mean that Narc Kenya Leader Martha Karua will attend the UDA party NDC.
In a statement on Twitter, the Senator said his statement was asleep of the tongue.
According to him, he meant that the Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetang'ula was the one expected to attend the event and not Karua.
"In an inadvertent, honest slip of the tongue, I referred to “Ford Kenya Leader Martha Karua” expected to attend the UDA NDC tomorrow. I meant Ford Kenya Moses Wetangula. Apologies to both Wetangula & Ms Karua, and their respective political parties for the mix-up," he said.

Earlier on, Kithure had appeared to suggest that Karua will attend the function.
He said Karua is among the many leaders who are expected to grace the function.
“We expect other guests including Martha Karua but we will not tell their names right now,” Kindiki said while addressing a press conference on the NDC on Monday.
Also, UDA legal secretary Edward Muriu told the Star that all officials from Kenya Kwanza will attend the UDA conference.
Muriu said Narc-Kenya party leader Martha Karua, Mwangi Kiunjuri (TSP), William Kabogo (Tujibebe Wakenya Party) among others will attend.
“UDA delegates’ conference will bring all the leaders together including Martha Karua, Mwangi Kiunjuri, Kuria and Kabogo among others,” Muriu said.
