Bumula MP Mwambu Mabonga has called out ODM leader Raila Odinga over what he termed as his empty promises to the people of Western Kenya.

Speaking at Mianga market during a Kenya Kwanza Alliance rally, Mwambu alleged that the former premier played a key role in bringing down Mumias Sugar Company.

Mabonga claimed that Raila is part of those who squandered the cash meant to operate the once giant miller.

This comes a day after Azimio La Umoja coalition held a rally in Bungoma led by its presidential candidate Raila Odinga.

He went further to say that Raila is not a farmer and that’s why he cannot relate to the problems that face the farmers in western region.

“Raila was here two months ago and he promised that by the time the farmers from this region begin preparing their farms for planting season, the fertilizer prices would have gone down two the normal price, yesterday he was in Bungoma and he didn’t mention a thing about it, “he said.

Mabonga went ahead to say that the handshake government is busy using the funds meant for the fertilizer to form political parties all over the country which after the election will be compressed under Jubilee instead of using the funds to benefit the citizens.

He went on to rubbish Mukhisa Kituyi’s move to pull his weight behind Raila Odinga after dropping his presidential bid saying that he doesn’t have any influence there for he is unable to pinpoint one standing project that he has done for the people of western.

“That is an old man who has no agenda for this country and that’s why we should decide as one come 9^th of August to send him home,” he said.
