Jubileee Party leader Uhuru Kenyatta turned its inaugural
NGC meeting into a personal attack on Cord leader Raila Odinga, calling him
"backward and petty."
The President, who did not call Raila by name in his entire
address at Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi, said the opposition chief thrives on
propaganda and lies.
He took issue with Raila's claims on the Sh6.8 billion
Northern Water Collector Tunnel project and allegations of a Sh5.3 billion
scandal at the Health ministry.
The water project funded by the World Bank seeks to divert
water from sources in the Aberdares to Thika's Ndakaini Dam for use in Nairobi.
Raila said on October 10 that he wanted it stopped as it is
a "secret, ridiculous" Jubilee initiative. He also said it will turn
counties into deserts.
But Uhuru gave him a severe tongue-lashing, saying:
"You must understand a man and his thinking of his backwardness and
pettiness... pettiness... pettiness..."
"He thrives on division of Kenyans and poverty. Uwanja
wake ni wa matope (His field is muddy). We will not divert from our
objectives," he further said.
The Jubilee Party leader, who seemed angry and irritated by
the Cord leader, said his coalition will not be dragged into the mud.
