Larry Madowo Admonishes Senator Wetangula’s Fracas At The Airport

News reached news rooms that Bungoma senator Moses Wetangula was causing a fracas at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport after he refused to produce his national Identification Card, a requirement that one must fulfil if they have to travel by plane.

This, many believe, was because Wetangula assumed he is a public figure, well known within our territories that he did not require to produce his ID card.

Criticism flew from all corners of the republic over the fracas, with some in support of Wetangula and others against his actions in the airport.

Among the celebrities to air their views on the matter is NTV’s Larry Madowo who, in his Daily Nation column, has lashed out at Wetangula for ignoring the basic rules for air travel.

In his article, “Who Do Our Leaders Think They Are?”Madowo has questioned Wetangula’s actions with an example of Nancy Baraza’s ‘You should know people’ phrase that sent her packing.

Madowo feels that it is time our leaders stopped thinking they are special cases and should be treated with more dignity than other ordinary Kenyans who go through the required processes because they are less known.

He adds that Wetangula’s actions make those who produce their IDs look like they are suspects because they are not known.
