Wednesday January 2, 2019-Nandi Senator, Samson Cherargei, has accused Nyeri Town MP, Ngujiri Wambugu, as being among leaders who are campaigning against Deputy President William Ruto’s Presidential bid in 2022.
According to Jubilee Party lineup, Ruto is the apparent heir of President Uhuru Kenyatta once he retires in 2022.
But recent political statements made by some leaders from Mt Kenya region have put Ruto’s ambitions in tatters.
One of the leaders who let the cat out of bag is former Gatanga MP, David Murathe, who said Mt Kenya region had no Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with anybody in regards to 2022 presidential election.
Though some leaders castigated Murathe for his remarks, Ngunjiri supported his remarks and said Murathe has freedom of stating the truth.
However in a Facebook post, Tuesday, Cherargei accused Ngunjiri of being against DP Ruto’s presidency bid and accused him of still being part of ODM.
“Wambugu, your mantra is fear mongering, you insist on this narrative to fulfill your devilish agenda. We know you and your ilk who you are their face .No one owes anyone anything so stop your imagination, you still smell ODM where. We understand where you come from. Utajua haujui,” he wrote.
Ngunjiri responded saying Kalenjin leaders are scared and are now threatening people with post-election violence.
“The associates of the leaders from Rift Valley who left ODM are the ones fear-mongering and beating the drums of war about possible violence, again in Rift Valley, if they lose in 2022,” Wambugu said.
