Leaders of the Kenya Kwanza Coalition led by Musalia Mudavadi asked the Government to stop intimidating top members of the alliance and parties ahead of the August 9, polls.
ANC Party Leader Musalia Mudavadi, during their campaign trail in the Western region asked the Government to first take away State vehicles assigned to Azimio presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga. Adding that, they should stop using security officers to harass members of the alliance.
Mudavadi’s remarks came a day after the police announced that they were in pursuit of Kimilili MP Didmas Barasa on claims of using CDF vehicles for his campaigns.
While speaking during the second day of the alliance’s campaign trail in Western Kenya, Mudavadi said no amount of State machinery would slow down the alliance’s activities.
At the same time, Ford Kenya’s Moses Wetang’ula stated that the alliance will not be scared by threats of arrest of its leaders. He further noted that before the government arrests the Kimilili MP, it should first go for Cabinet Secretaries involved in campaigns and withdraw Raila’s vehicles.
“My brother Didmas, don’t be cowed or intimidated, we shall stand by you and demand they first arrest those Cabinet secretaries and withdraw their cars and those used by Raila,” he said.
The leaders held rallies in Tongaren, Sirisia, Mechimeru in Bungoma, Malava in Kakamega, Matayos in Busia and Kidundu in Vihiga county.
