Wednesday
April 16, 2014 – A war has ensued between former President
Mwai Kibaki’s second wife, Mary Wambui, of TNA and DP candidate, Peter King’ara,
over who should use President Uhuru Kenyatta’s picture in the campaigns ahead
of the Othaya Parliamentary by-election scheduled for 29th April.
Each of the two want to use President Kenyatta’s
portrait in their campaign posters with Wambui accusing King’ara of erroneously
using Uhuru Kenyatta’s picture when he
is not a member of TNA.
The war emerged after King’ara erected two
billboards in Othaya Town with him being flanked by President Uhuru Kenyatta
and his Deputy, William Ruto, a move that has prompted TNA to write to the IEBC
to take disciplinary measures against DP’s King’ara for flouting election laws.
However, reacting to the accusations, King’ara
said he is free to use Uhuru Kenyatta’s picture the way he wants because he is
the President of all Kenyans, not TNA.
Besides, King’ara said, he is only using
President Kenyatta’s portrait because he supports his Government and does not
need his help to win the by-election.
