Ida Odinga was booed by a crowd in Meru County while she tried to make her remarks.

Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua has heavily condemned the heckling of Azimio La Umoja leader Raila Odinga’s wife, Ida Odinga, at a function in Meru.

Venting on Twitter on Saturday night, Ms. Karua maintained that what happened to Ms. Odinga was uncalled for as she was invited to the event.

The former Gichugu MP urged women to refrain from being used adding that they should listen to everyone before making their decision on where their vote will count.

“Why invite a guest then heckle or boo them? Probably a stage managed affair for the sole purpose of political zoning which is unacceptable #HeshimaSiUtumwa,” Ms. Karua tweeted.

“We must reject politics of intimidation and thuggery, let everyone market their ideas without let of hidrance #HeshimaSiUtumwa,” Karua added.

Ms. Karua’s remarks come after Ms. Odinga had a rough moment after gracing the Catholic Women Association prayer day in Meru on Saturday.

The crowd booed her while she tried to make her remarks prompting the master of ceremony in the event to intervene.

The MC’s efforts were futile as chants continued to fill the air. "I'm a mother like you,” Ms. Odinga remarked as heckles continued.

Ms. Karua said that politicians want to be listened to as everyone else desires. 

”We all want to be listened to as politicians so why do what you would not done unto you,” she tweeted.
