Boni Khalwale, Moses Wetangula and Raila Odinga

Former Kakamega senator Boni Khalwale has been under fire with a section of Kenyans on Twitter after putting out a tweet castigating ODM Party Leader Raila Odinga and Professor George Magoha.

Khalwale, who is now a loyal supporter of Deputy President William Ruto, mentioned that Odinga is no longer their leader after he replaced Moses Wetangula with Siaya Senator James Orengo as minority leader and Professor Magoha for Rashid Echesa.

“Listen! @RailaOdinga is NOT our leader. Out of the handshake he has replaced us with his kinsmen from Siaya. Sen Orengo for @Wetangulam and Prof Magoha for Rashid Echesa” reads Khalwale’s tweet.

Reactions from KOT

Another user Abud Daud said “Where "our" means what here? He can't be your leader as Khalwale. Ruto is your leader. Unless you are purporting to speak on behalf of other people.”

Steve Ngenga “Uncalled for Mhesh! Today you're out of order Doc. Prof is above board. He is actually above petty tribal/ partisan politics”

George Ojwang “Who is the appointing authority again? And since when did Echesa and Prof Magoha became equals? Omwaaaaaami eeei ata kama ni imbalikha punguzeko Kitoko tu!”
