Mwangi said Raila being called 'mganga' by Ruto is not an abuse.

Activist Boniface Mwangi now says Deputy President William Ruto's penchant for calling ODM leader Raila Odinga 'Mganga' is not abuse but a reality.

In a statement on Facebook, Mwangi said a 'Mganga' is a Swahili version of a Doctor saying the phrase demonstrates that if Raila is given a chance, he will transform the country.

"Mganga is Swahili for doctor. Mchawi is a witch doctor. Every time Deputy President Willam Ruto calls Raila Odinga Mganga, he is right," he said.

"He knows that Raila is a doctor, given the chance to serve as President and Martha Karua as Deputy President will work towards healing the disease of corruption, poverty and ignorance."
