Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi has it is not a suprise that his predecessor and Peter Munya defected to NASA.

Speaking Monday in Meru, Murungi said Mr Munya has been a senior member of Nasa.

“The move has vindicated our earlier statements that Mr Munya was a Nasa mole. He was hiding behind Uhuru to gain political mileage,” Murungi said.

Murungi said that it was an open secret that Mr Munya was in Nasa “and was principal number six after Mr Isaac Ruto.

 “We know that his campaigns were financed by Nasa and that is why there were frequent trips by Raila, Wetang’ula, Joho and even Mudavadi and they always came and urged Meru people to vote for Munya,’’ Governor Murungi said.

On Monday, Munya said that together with his PNU party, they had defected to NASA and would support Raila Odinga.
