Kenyans have sharply reacted to Bomet County Woman Representative Linet Toto's political slur  against the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition leader Raila Odinga accusing him of causing political unrest in the country.

While addressing residents of Mogotio during the are MP Reuben Kibork's thanks giving ceremony, Toto said Raila engaged in cheap politics long before she was born and had always complained about rigging.

“I want to tell Rail Odinga one thing. This old man started his chaotic and cheap politics even before I was born. He started his politics in 1997 when I was yet to be born. In 2002 he was back, in 2007 he was back again, in 2017 he was back and he was back once again in 2022 and what did he claim? His victory was stolen,” Toto said.

She further reminded Raila that Ruto is the 5th president of Kenya who was elected by Kenyans.

“I want to tell you that these Kenyans voted for our President Ruto as their 5th president,” Toto added.

Lines Toto has freedom of speech,give her a break folks. What she said is true & nothing but truth,after all she wasn't born in 1982 when Raila attempted coup on president Moi.

Does this girl Linet Toto know Raila Odinga is the password for her loose mouth? Does she know there is a time in Kenya she could not open her mouth and the Maandamano helped us unlock dictatorship? Anyway, I leave her to Peter Salasya. pic.twitter.com/nlplMRtFLa

Linet Toto is a perfect example of maskini akipata,matako hulia Mbwata.
In future they will make it difficult for anyone from humble backgrounds to vie and win.
Someone should advice the little brat that hata Baba yake haezi funga kiatu cha Raila Odinga

Linet Toto shd cease engaging Raila Odinga in that manner. Baba can destroy her natural reputation with just one statement . She shd be smart than that. Let the veteran politicians deal with Baba and his favourite game of Maandamano.
