National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula and President William Ruto's allies have hit out at envoys and Catholic bishops, accusing them of doublespeak for supporting demonstrations that risk sliding the country into anarchy.
Speaking on Friday during a women empowerment programme at Matunda Comprehensive School in Likuyani on Friday, Wetang'ula told the envoys and Bishops to keep off the affairs of President William Ruto's administration and instead preach peace and unity. "I have seen our bishops saying demonstrations must go on, and that is their right.
I have also seen our ambassadors from our friendly countries going on the media to support demonstrators," said Wetangula.
He added, "They don't need to tell us because our constitution is very clear that anyone can picket, demonstrate and present a petition to any public office, and we don't want to be reminded by anybody." Wetangula challenged the bishops and envoys to break their silence in the aftermath of Wednesday's protest. "Now that what happened on Wednesday happened, I would also want to hear the voice of our bishops and envoys if what they saw, the mayhem, destruction and deaths, is the right thing or what they desired to see," said Wetang'ula.
