Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri has said no form of intimidation will stop him from supporting Deputy President William Ruto.
Addressing the media in Nakuru on Wednesday, Ngunjiri said he is ready to go to prison for supporting the DP.
He accused the government of double standards, adding that some leaders are being harassed for politicking, while others are being spared.
"We are ready to pay the price in standing with the DP. They can arrest us but they won’t stop his bid. The BBI meeting in Kisii was Raila Odinga’s campaign using state resources the same way he turned the 2005 referendum into a political party,” said the vocal parliamentarian.
He accused Odinga of penetrating into the Jubilee Party, adding that the former Prime Minister is now in a better position, than the people who campaigned for Uhuru.
"We stood with the President in 2013 and 2017. Since his truce with Raila Odinga, his synergy with the deputy and his allies faded,” he added.
Meanwhile, Odinga has in past noted that he is not part of government, adding that his truce with President Kenyatta is meant unite the country, and not for political ambitions.
"I’m not in government. I am outside government. If I was in the government I would be having a specific title," Odinga said at a past interview.
