An Opposition Member of Parliament (MP) has disclosed that it has reached a point that he fears attending CORD leader Raila Odinga’s political rallies.
Addressing aย public meeting in his constituency,ย Alego Usonga legislator Omondi Muluan stated that rallies by Odinga had become a tall order for him since he had no money to give hecklers.
โI have to walk around with more than Sh200,000 to manage youths in most of Railaโs functions. I have to give them at least Sh200 each. I canโt manage such an amount and Raila is always in functions,โ Omondi complained.
He further stated that he feared being booed by Odinga’s supportersย if he failed to give them ‘something small’ย thus opted to stay away from the meetings completely.
According to the lawmaker, the last time he attended a meeting by the Opposition leader was in early 2015 during the homecoming party of Ugunja legislator Opiyo Wandayi.
Omondi hasย shunned Odinga’s recent ralliesย inย Nyanza and Western despite most members of the CORD coalition turning up.
