NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 16 – National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohamed has explained his absence from the first anniversary memorial of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, saying he declined to attend after noticing that former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was among those invited.
Speaking about the memorial held yesterday in Bondo, Junet said he could not share a platform with Gachagua, whom he accused of promoting hatred and ethnic divisions.
“I did not attend because when I looked at the list of invited guests, I saw someone called Gachagua. I said I could not sit in the same gathering with someone like that. Baba’s spirit, too, could not be present in a place associated with hatred, tribalism and other such things,” the Suna East MP stated.
