Boni Khalwale disagrees with Uhuru, says it's Kenya provoking Somalia
Even as President Uhuru Kenyatta's warning on Somalia to stop provoking Kenyans irked a section of netizens, ex-Kakamega senator Boni Khalwale has said the country is on the wrong for "intimidating" the horn of Africa nation.
The former lawmaker, now a key member of the Tanga Tanga wing of Jubilee, said Kenya is offending Somalia by refusing to withdraw its soldiers there.

In an interview with K24 on Thursday, March 5, the bullfighter asked the Head of State to design an exit strategy for Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) to avoid confrontations with Mogadishu.
"I don't want to sound like I'm in the habit of criticizing everything from the govt, but it's Kenya that has been provoking Somalia, for so long. What are our forces doing in Somalia soil," he wondered.
In a statement on Wednesday, March 4, the president called on Somalia to resolve its internal political wrangles without involving Kenya.
"The baseless accusations and invalid allegations made by the Federal Government of Somalia that Kenya is interfering with Somalia’s internal affairs are part of a growing and persistent pattern of ill intent to use Kenya as a scapegoat and a tool to justify challenges in Somalia for political reasons. Kenya will not accept to be used in that manner," he said.
The warning came after Nairobi said Somalia national army violated the nation's territorial integrity by engaging in an aggressive fight with militia on Kenyan soil thereby destroying the properties of its citizens.
"The action amounted to an unwarranted attack by foreign soldiers with the intention of provoking Kenya," part of the statement read.
TUKO.co.ke earlier reported Kenya is set to start negotiations on its troops exit from the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom).
