Party of National Unity (PNU) Isiolo branch officials have reacted to the allegations that their party leader and Industry, Trade and Cooperatives Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya is among leaders plotting the assassination of Deputy President William Ruto.
Led by Isiolo Branch party chairman, Mr. Moses Kithinji, the officials said that CS Munya has no reason to kill DP Ruto or plan his political downfall.
They insisted that their party leader has not announced his 2022 political ambition and is neither in ‘Kieleweke’ or ‘Tanga Tanga’ political factions that have taken shape after the unexpected President Uhuru Kenyatta- Raila Odinga handshake. They advised the DP to be calm and believe in his security.
Other mentioned CSs are Mr. Joe Mucheru (ICT), Ms. Sicily Kariuki (Health) and James Macharia.
“They are intended to make us look like criminals who meet to plot criminal activities against the DP. They are also meant to injure our reputation as law-abiding citizens of this country,” said Mr. Munya as reported by Daily Nation.
However, CS Munya confirmed that they indeed met at La Mada but DP Ruto was not on their agenda.
“To avoid speculation, we want to confirm that we have been having meetings. Indeed, we held a meeting at La Mada and will continue having meetings. There is nothing sinister or unusual for people from a particular region of this country to discuss their affairs. There were never meetings planned to assassinate the DP," he said as quoted by Standard.
