Bungoma Senator says he has everything to thank illicit brew for his academic progression which has also seen him cement his political abilities in the country.
While celebrating his mother during the International Women’s Day, Friday, Wetangula said his mother had to revert to Chang’aa’ business to pay for their school fee which enabled him to successfully complete his education.
Mr Wetangula was first elected to parliament in 1997 representing Sirisia constituency but in 2007, he was appointed as Foreign Affairs minister a position he held until 2013.
“My mother brewed busaa and distilled chang’aa to see us through school. Having stoped school at std 2, she dutifully checked our report cards to see what position you got & punished poor performance. At 90, she remains the icon of my life. Happy women’s day!” he tweeted.
But the remarks did not go down well with a section of Kenyans, with some tagging DCI to have Wetangula’s mother locked for engaging in the business.
