Millicent Omanga says Raila will mistreat Karua should he become president

by Enock Ndayala

Nominated Senator Millicent Omanga has warned a section of women leaders against celebrating the nomination of Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua to be Azimio la Umoja’s presidential running mate.

According to Omanga, who is also eying the Nairobi Women Rep seat on a UDA ticket, Karua being a woman will not have a say in the next administration should Raila Odinga form the government.

Omanga, who was speaking in an interview with Radio Jambo on Thursday, May 19, said that Karua will be humiliated just like Deputy President William Ruto has been humiliated in the Jubilee government.

“Nominating a woman as a deputy president here in Kenya is like making the office vacant as the Jubilee Party did to the current DP, William Ruto,” Omanga said.

Ironically, Omanga was among the first women leaders to congratulate the former Justice Minister Martha Karua for being picked for the country’s second most powerful position.

“I congratulate Martha Karua on her nomination as Azimio coalition running mate. Martha is a courageous lady with impressive and colorful reform credentials. As a woman I’m inspired by her passion,” Omanga said in a Tweet on Monday, May 16.

The ODM leader picked the former Gichugu MP from a list of three possible candidates forwarded to him by the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition party running-mate selection panel.

Making the announcement on Monday, May 16 at KICC, the ODM leader said he settled on the ‘Iron lady’ because of her transformative agenda.

“The person who holds this office cannot be a competitor to the President. We have decided that the holder of this office has to be a woman,

“I am a man of my words, I will ask her to finish what we started, she’s a safe pair of hands….. she is Martha Wangari Karua,” Raila announced.
