The heckling of Defence CS Raychelle
Omamo at Fidel Odinga's funeral was "undeserving and unfortunate",
ODM Secretary General Ababu Namwamba has said.
Namwamba apologised on behalf of ODM
to President Uhuru Kenyatta whose condolence message Omamo was forced to cut
short.
A section of mourners booed Omamo
nearly tearing her statement when they got onto the podium.
“Even if we are not party to this, I
want to apologise to the President that he did not deserve that after
supporting the programmes when we were preparing for Fidel's burial.”
Namwamba said the “unappealing
scenes and hostility” at the funeral of a person who unified parties were
uncalled for.
“Since Fidel's death we have been drumming
up and amplifying the spirit of tolerance and accommodation which has been
manifest even from the President when he attended the requiem mass,” Namwamba
said.
“The President was more
accommodative and even gave us a lot of support as we arranged for burial. For
anyone to behave in a manner that appears to humiliate the President is
shameful and completely out of order.”
He said the hecklers owe Raila an
apology for causing disturbance while he mourned his son.
ODM further asked Jubilee to accept
the spirit of dialogue “not as an event but as a culture” in which leaders
cross ranks to consult on matters of national interest.
“We are not talking of an event over
a cup of tea. The culture of dialogue places obligation on all of us - the
opposition and even more premium on government - to demonstrate goodwill and
commitment to consult,” Namwamba said.
“Dialogue is about give and take and
listening to one another. Ultimatums and threats can only serve to poison the
atmosphere for dialogue. We must differentiate between national interest and
political play.”
He underlined that the culture would
accommodate the sharing of divergent views devoid of hurling insults at one
another.
“We want a situation where leaders
can cross ranks to rally behind the national flag like we saw in Paris after
the terror attack on a satirical paper, and just like we saw in New York after
the 9/11 incident and when terrorists struck at the Westgate,” he said.
Jubilee asked Cord to drop
referendum calls before the dialogue can take place.
