3 Governors Blasted For Mourning Fidel…
The outspoken lawyer, Wahome Thuku has been unimpressed at what he termed as pretense by severa governors who have been said to be using county funds to mourn Fidel Odinga who was in fact not a public figure.
He wrote on his Facebook “…Governors are now spending our money to mourn Fidel Odinga. Why Fidel and not any other deceased persons in their counties? He was not a Public Officer himself neither are his parents. Of course the country is mourning him, we all are…so this is not a chance for governors to display their sycophancy using our money. These are the kind of things that anger the public and which should be stopped and condemned. When Machakos Governor spent Sh1 million on Mutula Kilonzo’s funeral we all condemned him. Yet Mutula was a Senator. Let the same condemnation apply here. Teachers are on strike because there is no money to pay them. The youth have no capital to start small businesses. The public is taxed by county governments even for keeping chicken. Then the money used for mourning a private millionaire businessman whose family is buying acres of space in newspapers to place his obituaries.. Sickness…”
He would continue and point out that Governor Mutua had faced backlash after he allegedly spent counties money on the funeral of Mutula Kilonzo .. Then why not these Governors?
