“Leave my mother alone, go insult yours,” Uhuru tells critics

President Uhuru Kenyatta has told off a section of leaders who previously attacked his mother, telling them in no uncertain terms, to insult their mothers instead.

President Kenyatta made a stopover in Ruaka on Wednesday while on a visit to Kiambu.

He was inspecting a road project that will connect Nairobi, Kiambu and Murang’a counties.

During the visit, President Kenyatta seized the moment to address a recent round of politicking in which his family was insulted by DP Ruto’s allies.

“Wale watu washenzi wanaenda huko wakitukana mama yangu, waambieni wakatukane mama zao wachaane na mama yangu (the silly people insulting my mother, tell them to insult their mothers instead,” President Uhuru said.

Further, the president explained that although he is still young, he has no qualms about leaving State House when his term in office lapses.

His sentiments were directed at Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi and Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ng’eno who previously attacked him and his family verbally in now viral videos.

Scores of leaders had called out the two leaders on Monday, demanding that they apologize for disrespecting the president, the former First Lady and by extension all Kenyan women.

On Monday, the Emurua Dikirr MP was arrested from his home by a contingent of police officers on allegations of incitement to violence.

The legislator who is now facing Hate Speech charges was released on Thursday on a Ksh.2M bond, a surety of the same amount or an alternative cash bail of Ksh.1M.

He has also been expelled from the KANU party and will be required to seek fresh mandate from the electorate.

His case will come up for mentioning  on Monday, October 12.
