The leader of the Abagusii community in the U.S Cosmo Choy has been forced to issue a public apology to the family of President Uhuru Kenyatta for his recent abusive remarks against Mama Ngina Kenyatta.
On his Facebook page, Choy who is an ally to Deputy President William Ruto, now claims he did not mean to insult Kenyatta’s matriarch stating that it is just politics.
He alleges that he was defending DP Ruto, whom he claims to have been made a topic of discussion in a recent political forum.
“I am here to apologize to the Kenyatta Family, Mama Ngina Kenyatta and President Uhuru Kenyatta. I am sorry for the remarks that I made a few days ago. I didn’t mean it. Mama aliingia siasa na akaongea juu ya Ruto na mnajua napenda Ruto lakini siasa ni mbaya.”
“I do apologise. Pole sana kwa familia, pole sana mama we ni mama wetu. It is something sweet to have a mum alive, I lost my mom and I will never see her again so pole sana. We are human beings and we make mistakes and we forgive each other,” he said in a video posted on his Facebook page.
The apology comes as backlash over his unprintable spat intensifies. He is also set to contest for Embakasi East’s MP seat in the August 9 polls.
These are some comments from Kenyans:
Victoria Sweeney – “It’s high time we demand respect from these politicians, using a woman’s private parts to put her down or embarrass her shows how low some of these politicians are willing to stoop for political mileage.”
Andove Atsango – “Mama Ngina should show mortherly hood by not taking sides, but bringing the country together.
Peter John – “Politics is a dirty game and mama Ngina should keep off politics. Let her son fight his own political battles. Kudos Cosmo for the apology, but don’t relent in your fight against the worst political leadership in Kenya since independence.”
Maina Wakili – “MAMA NGINA IS WRONG
