We have been to court just for the record and the court has even awarded me damages for defamation against the media houses," Kioni said. Mudavadi also defended Kioni as he quelled the crowd urging them to respect the occasion and the Head Of State who was present. "We are here for mama Hannah’s funeral, not for political competition. "Kioni lost his seat over that and we should not make this look like a political competition. Let us show respect and let us show a new beginning for Kenya."
