Amani National Congress party leader Musali Mudavadi has found himself on the receiving end of social media users after dismissing calls for a referendum under Third Way Alliance Punguza Mizigo Initiative.
Musalia who was speaking at a church function in Siaya county on Sunday termed the initiative as a case of misplaced priority terming the war on corruption as the main issue Kenya should concentrate on at the moment.
“Let our focus be on the war against corruption. That is where we will reduce this Mizigo. We should reduce excessive borrowings, relevant authorities should follow closely, repossess all grabbed and stolen public money then we will be able to reduce the burden” Said Mudavadi

His sentiments did not, however, go down well with most Kenyans with many accusing Mudavadi of joining the dynasties whose main aim is to add more burdens on Kenyans. Many vowed to stand with Ekuru Aukot’s initiative to the very end.
Here are some of the comments;
Punguza Mzigo will pass

Samuel Arisa Where is yours,at least we have for aukot ,what’s wrong with you mudavadi?u mean when Raila says no to something u all just follow without thinking twice
Alexander Artemis Says an architect of goldenberg scandal who even went ahead to loot all money that was to buy land for a new cemetery for nairobians. He should go to hell. We appended our signatures on the bill
He is a casualty for #PunguzaMzigo .He is himself a mzigo. A beneficiary of tribal galvanization. We will defeat their ongeza mzigo

You cannot call an initiative that will help reduce the high cost of living misplaced. Some leaders oppose it because they want ways of milking Kenyans,ways for their selfish gains.

Misplaced priority? He knows his tiny party will suffer if Thirdway Alliance gets its way

Joni Musuku It’s Mudavadi himself who is misplace, punguza mzigo should actually be a priority.
Ngugi Kimotho Parties are unwelcome here… They’re already baggage enough and we want to reduce. Musalia, too late to commend on anything as always. Tutawapunguza mpende musipende – Punda amechoka
John Kituke Punguza mzigo ni lazima, useless mdvd, i thought you’ll support us on this, ndomo kaya
Davis Mworia Huyu pia ni tumbo yake tu. Has nothing for Kenya. Just another tumbocrat
E Nduati Chege Na ndio sababu huyu msee ataishi kushindwa… He was plucked out of university to become an MP after the father died. Hajui shida in nini
