Kiambu Woman Representative Gathoni Wamuchomba has weighed in on claims that four cabinet secretaries from Mount Kenya met to hatch a plot to assassinate Deputy President Dr William Ruto.
Speaking on Monday after the cabinet secretaries presented themselves to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the woman rep expressed her shock at the reports.
Wamuchomba wondered why concerns were being expressed about Central Kenya cabinet secretaries meeting yet cabinet secretaries from other regions are also holding meetings.
She insisted that the Mt Kenya CSs were meeting to discuss how development projects in the region were going to be carried out.
"I am totally shocked because I didn't expect that. First of all, I don't know why people have a problem when Central MPs, Central executives that is CSs and PSs meet yet when other people meet, for example, there are people who have been going to Weston Hotel, to the Deputy President's residence in Karen just to strategise. Just the other day leaders from Meru had a meeting with the deputy president," said Wamuchomba.
CSs Peter Munya (Trade), Joe Mucheru (ICT), and Sicily Kariuki (Health) presented themselves at the DCI over a call the deputy president made accusing them of scheming to assassinate him.
The CSs have strongly rebuffed the claims, saying they only met to coordinate development projects in Central Kenya as directed by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
