Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai has come out strongly to defend Kibra MP Mwalimu Peter Orero after a viral video showed the MP and his driver driving on the wrong lane, an incident recorded by CNN journalist Larry Madowo.

Alai accused Larry and a section of Kenyans of unfairly judging leaders without understanding the pressures they face.

“From your hate of politicians, you attack Mwalimu Orero without even trying to understand what he was going through. Representation and oversight aren’t easy.

Some people just crave attention without facts,” Alai said, adding that as an elected leader, he understands the daily struggles that come with public service.
