Opposition chief Raila Odinga has urged Parliament not to ban Deputy President William Ruto’s ‘hustler’ slogan. The ODM boss – in a statement to newsrooms - said though the slogan carries a potential threat to national unity, it is within Ruto’s constitutional right to use it. He urged lawmakers to drop any legislative process that is aimed at outlawing the slogan, saying the move would go against DP’s freedom of expression and association. “I would strongly appeal to Members of Parliament to drop any attempts to legislate against this otherwise deadly slogan,” Raila said. I have faith that Kenyans will see through this divisive and potentially deadly rhetoric and its attacks on fellow Kenyans, and reject it in the end.”
