“You are not Kenya and Kenya is nor Kenyatta’s or Mama Ngina’s land. This land belongs to 47 million Kenyans, you cannot run it as you wish,” the legislator said.
Sudi on his part declined to apologize for the Mama Ngina slur, noting that his sentiments were misunderstood.
“I was very surprised to see so many people agitated that I referred to women’s breasts, it is even in the bible, that was not an insult, I will apologise once people show me where I went wrong,” he said.
He also told the people that he has no problem vacating the presidency when his tenure comes to an end.
Talk has been rife that the president will take up the Prime ministerial post after his term comes to an end in 2022.
