Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa has called for the arrest of the ODM leader Raila Odinga over his ‘madoadoa’ remarks saying Raila is just an ordinary Kenya.
Speaking in Mombasa on Thursday, March 10 during the Kenya Kwanya campaign trail, Jumwa said the former prime minister should be treated the same way Mithika Linturi was when he uttered the same words.
“Tunademand arrest ya Raila. He is an ordinary Kenyan. Kenya Raila hana cheo. Kama aliyofanya Mithika Linturi alilala ndani, Raila anangoja nini?”
(We are demanding the arrest of Raila. He is an ordinary Kenyan; he holds no position in the country. Mithika Linturi spent a night in police custody, what is Raila waiting for?” Aisha Jumwa said.
The Malindi MP joins other Deputy President William Ruto allies in putting pressure on government agencies to immediately arrest the ODM leader.
Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen took to social media urging the Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI) to treat Raila as they did to Linturi.
“This is Raila Odinga in Wajir today. To demonstrate rule of law and in particular equality before the law, let DCI and ODPP act as swift as in the case of Mithika Linturi,” Murkomen said in a Tweet.
During an Azimio la Umoja campaign rally in Wajir on Wednesday, March 9, the presidential hopeful was heard urging residents to vote for all Azimio la Umoja candidates vying for all six elective positions, popularly known as the six-piece voting style.
Hatutaki madoadoa katika kaunti ya Wajir, tunataka viongozi wote wachagulie ndani ya Azimio (We don’t want to see patches in Wajir County, we want all Azimio la Umoja leaders seeking elective seats to be elected uniformly),” Raila said.
