Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya has come out swinging against explosive allegations that he pocketed Ksh40 million from State House Comptroller Katoo Ole Metito.
Salasya rejected the claims as lies, propaganda, and a desperate attempt to smear his rising star in a fiery statement that sent shockwaves across the political landscape.
“Let me be crystal clear, for the avoidance of doubt: I am NOT a UDA project. I am NOT funded by the State House. I have NEVER received a single cent, let alone Ksh40 million, from Katoo Ole Metito or any government official. Full stop,” Salasya declared on Saturday, May 10.
His bold defense has sparked a heated conversation about transparency, political manipulation, and the rough terrain of Kenyan politics.
Peter Salasya Stands Firm Against Political Propaganda
Peter Salasya did not mince his words. He accused his rivals of cooking up false stories to derail his growing influence. According to the MP, the allegations were part of a calculated scheme to break his momentum and tarnish his name in the eyes of his supporters.
“These claims are nothing but cheap, lazy propaganda manufactured by cowards who are terrified of the political wave I am building across the nation,” Salasya said.
“They can’t match the momentum, they can’t match the courage, and they can’t match the connection I have with the people—so they resort to lies,” he added.
Salasya made it clear that no backroom deals or shady funding were behind his political rise. Instead, he credited his success to grassroots support, strategic planning, and the trust of ordinary Kenyans.
Salasya Defends His Financial Transparency
Critics have questioned how Peter Salasya funds his political activities, especially his nationwide tours. But the first-term MP pushed back hard, pointing to his transparency as proof that he has nothing to hide.
“Yes, I posted my payslip. It is because I don’t hide. I am transparent. I earn what every MP earns. But unlike others, I don’t worship money—I serve the people,” he explained.
Salasya insisted that his movement is powered not by secret cash flows but by genuine goodwill from Kenyans who believe in his leadership.
“What you’re witnessing isn’t money at work. It’s pure strategy, unmatched charisma, and massive goodwill from Kenyans who believe in the future I represent,” he said.
Salasya further addressed concerns about the use of Mumias East’s Constituency Development Fund (CDF). He reassured his constituents that every coin has been accounted for, and every project is visible and verifiable.
“Let me be very firm: Not a single cent of Mumias East CDF has been misused. Not even a shilling. Our projects are visible, trackable, and transformative. Ask the students, the schools, the hospitals, and the parents on the ground. We’re delivering, not looting,” he declared.
Peter Salasya Credits Grassroots Support for His Political Journey
Responding to whispers about his busy travel schedule, Peter Salasya dismissed claims that his tours are bankrolled by shadowy financiers. Instead, he painted a picture of a politician deeply rooted in the struggles and hopes of the people.
“To those whispering in corners, speculating how I’m able to tour the country, I am not your ordinary politician. I am a man of the people. A man of destiny. Supported by a network of patriotic Kenyans who want change, not cartels,” Salasya said.
His rising popularity has raised eyebrows across the political divide, with critics questioning his ambitions and sources of support. But Salasya is not backing down.
In late April, he stunned many by announcing his intention to run for the presidency in the next general election. According to him, the decision followed deep reflection and wide consultations on the future of Kenya.
“After deep reflection, wide consultations, and careful consideration of the state of the nation, I have decided to vie for the presidency of Kenya in the next election,” Salasya shared on his social media platforms.
A Growing Force in Kenyan Politics
Peter Salasya’s defiance in the face of corruption claims has only cemented his status as a rising force in Kenyan politics. By directly addressing the accusations and standing firm on his record, Salasya has turned what could have been a damaging scandal into an opportunity to showcase his transparency and resilience.
As political temperatures rise, it remains to be seen whether his critics will produce any evidence to back their claims. For now, Salasya is charting his path forward, determined to prove that his vision for Kenya is powered by the people—not by secret deals or state-sponsored projects.
With his eyes set on the presidency and his voice louder than ever, Peter Salasya is sending a clear message to his rivals: he will not be silenced, bought, or broken.
