Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Achesa has revealed why Opposition Chief Raila Odinga is punishing NASA Co-principal Moses Wetangula.

Achesa in his revelation said that the NASA leader was punishing Moses Wetangula for not showing up for the mock swearing in at Uhuru Park, on January 30.

“We cannot have Raila victimizing one of the Mulembe sons simply because he did not attend the swearing-in thing that has not achieved anything for him," he said.

The CS who spoke in Webuye said Raila received a lot of support from the region and he should not take the community for a ride.

The youthful CS also asked Western leaders to use the opportunity to unite the Luhya community.

His words come days after the Bungoma Senator was ousted by ODM senators as the senate Minority leader and was replaced by Siaya Senator James Orengo.

Wetangula who said he would not go down without putting a fight in a press statement Sunday afternoon said he no longer wants the Minority leader’s position back and he is very comfortable as he is.
