Former Ikolomani Member of Parliament Boni Khalwale has described Rashid Echesa’s verbal attacks as strange.
Khalwale in his long post on Twitter just hours after attending MP Justus Murunga’s burial, thanked all others who attended the burial event that saw the MP finally accorded a befitting send off.
He however did not spare the former CS Rahsid Echesa who called him out during the service but whom Khalwale has simply described in a few words as a man with ‘Bizarre tirades’.
“We finally laid Hon Justus Makokha Murunga to rest at his home in Matungu this afternoon in a colorful occasion that was punctuated by speeches laden with praise, encouragement to the bereaved, politics of succession & BBI to bizarre tirades from former Minister Rashid. Sad,” he wrote.
