Kimani Ngunjiri, the Member of Parliament for Bahati, has intensified his beef with President Uhuru Kenyatta, accusing him of wanting to prolong his stay in power using the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
Speaking at the burial of three people who were killed in a clash with the police in Lessos, Nandi, on Thursday, July 2, Ngunjiri alleged that Uhuru was out to clip William Ruto's presidential bid.
“Uhuru should not cheat you, he wants nothing in the next election. He wants to introduce communism and just like in South Africa create a more powerful position than the presidency,” Ngunjiri said.
The MP claimed that Uhuru would not have been president were it not for Ruto, who campaigned vigorously to ensure he ascended to the top seat.
“Were it not for Ruto, Uhuru would be nowhere. Kalenjins have stood with him since 2002 and as such he should return the favour. But even if he does not want to do so, he can take all his assets but spare his life,” Ngunjiri added.
