Ron Kidero, the son of Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero, has publicly questioned the arrival of CORD leader Raila Odinga at Uhuru Park during Labour Festivities.
Raila Odinga arrived at the event to a cheering crowd of workers, briefly bringing the presidential function to a standstill. The function resumed after Odinga and his entourage of opposition legislators took their seats.
According to the original account, Ron Kidero's post sparked criticism, with some suggesting he should pull down the post and apologize to Raila Odinga. It was noted that Raila Odinga received nearly 10 times the amount of votes Evans Kidero did in the last election.
The original account also stated that Raila Odinga was accorded respect by President Uhuru Kenyatta, who rose to welcome him and later bid him farewell. This display of respect was seen as a testament to Odinga's credentials and stature in politics.
Ron Kidero was advised to learn humility and recognize that public positions are temporary. The original account suggested that he and others like him would soon be seeking votes and should therefore be mindful of their actions and statements.
