National Assembly Minority Leader John Mbadi has ridiculed the Deputy President William Ruto on his UDA party, a week after the passing of the the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) bill. – By Caleb Mwicha.
Mbadi said that the propaganda that DP Ruto has numbers in parliament proved the contrary with over 200 MPs voting Yes to the bill.
According to Mbadi, getting two thirds of the parliament to endorse any bill is no easy task and that should speak volume to the DP and his people that they have no support.
He went on to say that the UDA party which Tanga Tanga have claimed to be popular is only central to some parts of Rift Valley.
“Getting two thirds has eluded us in many occasions including the two thirds gender rule. If UDA is popular, then it’s only popular in some parts of the Rift Valley but certainly not in parliament,” said Mbadi.
His sentiments were supported by nominated MP Maina Kamanda who also maintained that the DP has to re-evaluate his options going forward because in 2022 the numbers he claims will be nowhere to be seen.
