It was a tough day on Thursday, November 1 for Jubilee MP who met President Uhuru Kenyatta and the Regional coordinator’s residence in Nyeri.
The MP was meeting a group of Mt Kenya MPs who met in Naivasha recently and came up with a litany of issues they want the head of state to address.
The legislators, during the Naivasha, retreat had accused Uhuru of snubbing them after he secured a second term.
On Thursday, a furious Uhuru went hammer and tongs on the MPs on a dress down they had not expected.
He particularly picked on one MP who comes from Kiambu County and read the riot act to him over a statement he recently made during a TV interview.
“The President was particularly angry with an outspoken Kiambu MP for engaging the media. We have sworn not to speak to the press,” a source at the meeting said.
The MP, who was known to be a close ally of Uhuru and usually attacked Raila during the 2017 election, was reprimanded as other MPs remained pin-drop silent.
Others who faced the wrath of the President is Murang’a senator Irungu Kang’ata who has been pushing for a narrative that ‘Uhuru is too young to retire’.
“The President has already said he is not interested in extending his term and politicians should stop pushing that agenda. Let us allow him to implement his Big Four agenda and stop engaging in politics,” Mukurweini MP Anthony Kiai said in front of Uhuru.
