Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has been advised to stay out of politics by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula.
The speaker’s remarks come a day after the former president broke his silence after police raided the home of his eldest son Jomo in Karen.
Wetang’ula said in a statement on Saturday that Uhuru should follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and enjoy retirement rather than participate in politics.
“Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta, let go of your unhelpful rage and vitriol, take a leaf from retired President(s) Daniel Moi and Mwai Kibaki, and enjoy peace, calm, and much more in retirement!” Politics will trap you!” warned Wetang’ula.
The former president on Friday denied involvement in allegations that he was funding Azimio’s anti-government protests.
Uhuru wondered if the accusations came about because of his association with Azimio leader Raila Odinga.
“I’m I not supposed to talk to my friends? Is that a crime in Kenya today? Maybe you should tell me,” he said.
“Have you seen me in any of those events? Have you seen me talk about any of those events?”
The former president went on to state that he had handed over power to President William Ruto because he believed that there was democracy in the country.
“I may not have supported this government, but I accepted the will of the people,” he said.
