We apologize to our Rwandese Brothers and sisters- Raila Reprimands Murkomen.
We apologize to our Rwandese Brothers and Sisters: Speaking on Tuesday, Opposition leader, Raila Odinga termed the remarks by Murkomen as unfortunate, by accusing the CS of using “intemperate and undiplomatic language” against Rwanda.
Odinga stated,”Yesterday, we opened another war with Rwanda through a cabinet secretary using intemperate and undiplomatic language against this friendly neighbouring member of the East African Community. Statecraft and diplomacy require a different and more sophisticated etiquette beyond expensive watches, suits and walking sticks,”
Raila pointed fingers saying this regime is drunk with power, therefore he apologized to Rwanda for the ‘ reckless’ remarks.
He stated,”The coarse language used against the great country and friendly people of Rwanda is most unfortunate. Rwanda is the size of Switzerland and is actually bigger than Singapore. It is not the size that makes nations but the vision and leadership. To our Rwandese brothers and sisters, we apologize on the sins of a regime intoxicated by power and corruption.”
Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary’s remark on Rwanda, has been a topic of discussion since last night. Murkomen while holding an Interview highlighted that Rwanda is an Autocracy.
Murkomen stated,”Rwanda is not like Kenya, Rwanda is an autocracy and there whatever the President says is the law. The other day I announced that we want to retest drivers but what happened, people caused chaos, went to court,”
”For every decision you make in this country (Kenya) you must go through a proposal then Parliament then public participation. Then after you go through all the processes you go through the court and that is our country,” he added.
