Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri has urged Nakuru County Governor Kinuthia Mbugua to address the claim of Mungiki in the town.
Kimani challenged Mbugua to address rumours being peddled in the town after the governor attended a burial of suspected member of the outlawed sect.
“If it is true that the governor is sympathetic about the sect members who have been regrouping in town, collecting money from traders at Nasha Square under the pretext that they will offer security then he owes residents an explanation,” Ngunjiri told the Standard newspaper.
The governor has, however, rubbished claims that he is associating with the outlawed sect. Kinuthia said he had no clue that the slain Nakuru trader Joseph Chege alias Jose was a suspected Mungiki member.
“I’m shocked to realise that there are some people who all along had known that the two traders who were murdered were members of the Mungiki sect but failed to report to authorities. Why did they keep quiet all these years, were they accomplices? Kinuthia posed.
