Linda Mwananchi leaders have warned that they will not tolerate goons disrupting their meetings, accusing the government of failing to provide security.
Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, speaking in Voi, condemned the use of hired youth to cause chaos at opposition events.
“We will not beg goons. The government must create jobs for young people instead of using them to cause violence,” Owino said.
In a separate address, MP Danson Mwashako said he would not be coerced into joining the ruling UDA party. He referenced an incident where Deputy President Kithure Kindiki allegedly tried to force a UDA cap on him.
“I have been pressured to join government but I remain firm in Linda Mwananchi and the opposition. You don’t have to be in government to serve the people,” Mwashako stated.
He declared Taita Taveta a stronghold of Linda Mwananchi and dismissed both UDA and ODM influence in the county.
“We believe Linda Mwananchi will form the next government,” Mwashako added.
