Wetangula wondered why Uhuru has failed to accompany Raila to his political rallies and campaign for him despite the promise

Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula now claims President Uhuru Uhuru Kenyatta has abandoned Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga. 

Speaking on Saturday, June 18, during the Kenya Kwanza rally in Kilgoris Narok county, Wetangula questioned why the Head of State had not accompanied Odinga in his political tours in Mt. Kenya. 

"Uhuru amemtoroka Raila. Sasa Uhuru amemwambia wewe mwenyewe jitetee. Alikua anajificha nyuma ya Uhuru, tukijaribu kumlenga tunaona the President, Uhuru amemhepa and now Raila is our moving target everywhere on air, land and sea. Tutamchapa na kumnyorosha kisiasa," Wetangula said.

Despite saying the President had abandoned Odinga, Wetangula went ahead to accuse Kenyatta of plotting to prolong his stay in power past the August 9 polls.

The Kenya Kwanza principle claimed Uhuru was fronting Raila to extend his rule beyond August.

Wetangula in the company of Kenya Kwanza Presidential candidate William Ruto and Musalia Mudavadi of ANC had attended the launch of John Ololtuaa's parliamentary bid at Enoosaen in Kilgoris, Narok County.


Among the Kenya Kwanza leaders who accompanied the three to the region include; Narok County Governor and UDA's candidate for the county's senatorial seat Samuel Ole Tunai, Patrick Ole Ntutu, Soipan Tuya, Gabriel Tongoyo, Rebecca Tonkei, David Sankok, Ndindi Nyoro, and Charles Njagua, among others.

Ruto and his team are racing against time to sway the Maa nation away from Raila Odinga's grip. The region has been considered one of the battlegrounds between the two.
