“He may have thought he was joking, however, it is important to realize that there is nothing like a joke as of now because whatever you say right now can be used against you in the political arena.
“This issue will perhaps be used in the next one or two weeks by Raila’s rivals,” Ageyo stated in an interview with Ramogi FM.
Last week, the politician jokingly said that Raila’s government will belong to Nyanza people if he wins.
“Baba akishinda, serikali ni yetu watu wa Nyanza. Sitaki iyo watu wa gazeti waskie iyo, Mutahi Kagwe anaeza kasirika.( If Raila wins the government will be owned by the people of Nyanza. I don’t want the media to hear this, Mutahi Kagwe will be upset),” Junet said.
