Karua told off a journalist who asked her and Raila to
respond to claims made by President William Ruto and his deputy, Rigathi
Gachagua.
The first question was whether Odinga was trying to use the
planned national wide demonstrations to force Ruto into a handshake.
"Yesterday the Deputy President said that you are
trying to mobilise Kenyans to pile pressure on the government so that you can
have a handshake. What is your take on this?" a journalist posed.
"You surely do not expect our leader to be responding
to everybody who says something unfounded. You better go back to that source to
give you facts to show that what he is saying is true," Karua responded.
A second journalist was not spared either when he sought to
know why the opposition had not moved to court to challenge the actions of the
government as suggested by Ruto.
"Earlier, the president challenged the Azimio leader to
go to court if he felt like he had issues with his administration. Are you
planning to take that route?" the media person asked.
"Since when did the competition become the senior
advisor or a cheerleader? Let us be serious and let us do whatever people feel
befits them in the position they stand. We reject unsolicited advice,"
Karua replied.
