Abduba Dida mounts attacks on Uhuru Kenyatta’s drunkenness even as the spotlight remains on Babu Owino

Posted on September 28, 2017 by Martin Oduor

Abduba Dida has stepped up attacks on president Uhuru Kenyatta’s insobriety. The former presidential candidate insists that 40 million Kenyans are being driven in a bus by a drunk driver.

The Alliance for Real Change presidential flag bearer started his attacks on Uhuru on Monday September 25th when he pleaded with the president’s family to take him to rehab.

Dida reiterated his worry about president Uhuru Kenyatta’s drunkenness during an interview with Ken Mijungu on NTV’s Side Bar on Wednesday night September 27th.

“Why do you stop a Kenyan and test whether he’s sober or not…you love him and you want to take care of his life because he will risk his life and the lives of the passengers. If you can’t trust one Kenyan with his life and four passengers, why do you allow the president to be drunk? Is he above the law?” Dida said in part.

Asked how he could prove his claim, Dida explained that anyone could tell Uhuru was a drunkard just by analyzing what how he acts and what other people say about him.

“It’s is an IEBC requirement that any presidential candidate must be tested and must be of sound mind. You analyse a character by what he says, by what he does and by what others say about him. When you add up to that, do you want to say the president is sober? Atwoli said please calm down and be sober when you are talking to people. Even the deputy president said he’s managing this country, and he says this talking to his people in Kalenjin language,” said Dida.

Speaking during a press conference on Monday September 25th, Dida explained that if he was president he would have given Uhuru a job only if he had gone to rehab first.

“Uhuru would have been one man who if he asks, God would have accepted his prayers but only after going for rehabilitation. Sincerely speaking… it is not an issue of tribal, Uhuru needs 3 months rehabilitation, urgent, if you love him and respect him, please take him there,” Abduba Dida said.

Dida also vowed to vote for Uhuru Kenyatta in repeat election if he goes for blood and urine tests. The Alliance for Real Change presidential flag bearer argued that the reddening of Uhuru’s eyes was an indication of substance abuse.

“I will vote for Uhuru Kenyatta if he goes for tests mkojo na damu and he’s free, i will vote for him…It’s not a joke. Kwanini watu sports wanakimbia alafu anaambiwa wewe simama because that running is extra ordinary, hebu leta mkojo na damu…anaambiwa umemeza kitu. Kwani who is he (Uhuru), how can your eyes be red 24/7? You know just asking. Nimekosa kuuliza hio?” Dida said.

“I will vote for Ruto in 2022 but now am voting for Raila”Donald Kipkorir reveals why he’s against Uhuru presidency

Posted on September 26, 2017 by Martin Oduor

Flamboyant lawyer Donald Kipkorir has openly stated why he ditched his friend Uhuru Kenyatta in favor of a Raila Odinga presidency.

Kipkorir, a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto, stated that both Uhuru and Raila are sons of Kenya’s founding fathers but clarified that he will be voting for Raila because he wants to show that Kenya can still prosper without either a Kikuyu or Kalenjin president.

“Why I Am Voting Raila

“Most Kenyan votes vote along tribal lines without any debate, and I don’t begrudge. In 2022, I will vote for William Ruto without persuasion. But I will not vote because I hate other tribes or other candidates. I have never harbored any hatred or hate in my breast.

“The Presidential Race is now between two Princelings: Son of Jomo and Son of Jaramogi. Kenya’s two true Royal families. Majority of Kikuyus will vote for Uhuru, and Majority of Luos will vote Raila.

“Other tribes will vote for historical reasons and affiliations.

“Others will cast a negative vote; Voting for one candidate because they hate the other. Negative vote also cuts across the big tribes. Some tribes have been socialized to hate other tribes.

“I want to vote RAO not because of any of the above reasons. I consider both Princelings my friends though our backgrounds are as different as day and night. My vote is purely a mental trip …. I want to show that Kenya without either a Kikuyu or Kalenjin President wouldn’t be hit by an asteroid. And that Luos are just like you and I. When we all cross this mental bridge, we will be like Germany: holding General Elections and a global Marathon same day.”
