Musalia Mudavadi tells off president’s critics

Kenya: United Democratic Party leaders have asked politicians to respect the President and desist from attacking him. UDF party leaders, at the same time, asked president Kenyatta’s critics not to use unconstitutional means to resolve the challenges facing the country.

Party leader Musalia Mudavadi said politicians had a right to criticise the government but urged them to do this in a respectful a manner.

Mudavadi made the remarks in Lamu when he addressed the party officials from the County in Shella.

They are attending a retreat to analyse the party’s performance and Amani Coalition’s ties with the ruling Jubilee coalition. Key CORD leaders arrived in Lamu for a separate meeting.

Mudavadi was apparently referring to CORD leaders who, last week, launched a scathing attack on President Kenyatta and called for mass action to protest against the Jubilee administration. UDF deputy party leader Jeremiah Kioni distanced the party from recent remarks made by Senator Bonny Khalwale against the president.
