Justina Wamae blasts Mutahi Ngunyi for calling her DP Ruto's mole

Roots Party deputy presidential candidate Justina Wamae on Wednesday engaged in a Twitter spat with political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi after the former referred to her as a UDA party mole.

The exchange began after Prof. Ngunyi took to social media to criticise Wamae for suggesting that her party leader, Prof. George Wajackoyah was indirectly supporting Azimio La Umoja presidential candidate Raila Odinga.

Mutahi went ahead to also purport that Wamae was a project of UDA candidate, Deputy President William Ruto, triggering her fierce reaction.

“So what if Wajakoyah is a Baba mole? Is he spying for Baba at the Roots Party, which he owns? Do not insult his intelligence. This Justina Wamae is not making sense. Or is she making an argument to be moled by UDA?” Mutahi wrote on Twitter.

Wamae fired back at Mutahi accusing him of being paid by the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya frontman Raila Odinga to drum up support for Azimio ahead of the August polls.

Without mincing her words, Wajackoyah’s running mate further downplayed his intelligence on the meaning of the word mole.

She wrote: “Perhaps you could do a series on the 5th estate with a CLEAR definition of a mole. From where I sit you cannot purport to speak for me or Roots party. Eat Azimio's money in silence. Ukishiba funika tumbo.”

The war of words follows Wamae’s earlier remarks that her boss was indirectly endorsing Azimio's presidential candidate ahead of the August polls.
