Details are emerging that Jubilee leaders in Murang’a were told to boycott an event that was attended by Baringo Senator Gideon Moi.
Moi was attending a fundraiser at Gitui Catholic Church in Kiharu Constituency on Sunday but no area leader showed up; not even an MCA!
According to sources, the move was crafted in order to ‘embarrass’ the Senator.“People here wanted to send a clear message that they are with the DP.
They wanted to embarrass the senator by snubbing him,” a local leader said.
Area MP Ndindi Nyoro was blunter over the snubbing."Any leader who wishes to take part in a fundraising in my constituency is welcome but politics is about loyalty.
My loyalty and that of Kiharu people is to Mr Ruto. That is why not a single ward representative turned up," Nyoro said.
Another MP who preferred anonymity told Daily Nation that they were told to choose where they stand.
“We were presented with a “you-are-either-with-us-or-with-Gideon scenario by top party officials. The officials also accused Mr Moi of disrespecting the Mr Ruto. We did not want to antagonise the Deputy President this early,” he said.
