Ngunjiri, who has made himself a name by his anti-Ruto’s 2022 bid, has become the face of those insisting that the Mt Kenya region owes Deputy President William Ruto no political debt.

While campaigning in 2013, Uhuru Kenyatta said the then TNA and URP parties had agreed to have a 20-year political pact where he would run for president and serve 10 years before handing over to his deputy William Ruto.

However, after winning a second term in office, the script seems to be changing over the deal.

Ruto’s Mt Kenya allies blame Wambugu for all this and claim that his constant social media posts saying Mt Kenya will not back Ruto is just a tip of the iceberg in a larger scheme by the Orange Democratic Movement party to wreck Jubilee after it suffered defeat in 2013 and 2017.

Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua said Wambugu who was in ODM in 2007, supporting Raila Odinga’s presidency when the Mt Kenya region was behind Mwai Kibaki is a mole sent by the opposition leader.

Similar sentiments were echoed by a Nakuru MP who said Ngunjiri ‘was sent by ODM to steal our secrets’.

“Everybody knows that he is a Raila man, even if a man wears a skirt, he is still a man. In fact, it is Shakespeare who said a rose by any other name would smell similar, Ngunjiri has been in ODM …he is a traitor and we know it. We will not allow him to be used by our enemies to cause problems to Mt Kenya people,” the MP said.

Ngunjiri writing on his Facebook wall said there is nothing wrong with the fact that he was in ODM in 2007.

“But it’s important to remember that being in ODM is not an insult. Many good Kenyans are in parties other than Jubilee and that’s not an insult,” he said.

A group of Nakuru elders through their patron Gilbert Kabage has also weighed in on the matter.“That MP should stop the reckless 2022 talk. We in the Rift Valley know what such talks can do. We promised Ruto our support and we should not be betrayers,” the elder said.
