Agriculture minister Sally Kosgei on Wednesday apologised for remarks she made when severing ties with ODM party leader Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
Dr Kosgei claimed she had received death threats over the remarks made at a rally in her Aldai constituency on Friday.
“Let me use this opportunity to apologise to those I may have offended on the political platform,” she said when addressing a two-day conference at the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute.
She declined to comment on whether she will remain an ODM member.
Dr Kosgei said at the Friday rally that she had cut ties with the ODM party leader, adding she was no longer enthusiastic about flying a ministerial flag. (Read: Kosgei finally joins the pro-Ruto ODM faction)
“I have held higher positions in government during the time of President Daniel arap Moi and I am not afraid to let the flag go. It will not change my lifestyle,” she said.
“This flag has got no meaning, it only helps me to evade the traffic jam,” she said.
Dr Kosgei said she had decided to sever ties with the party boss in order to move to suspended Higher Education minister William Ruto’s camp.
