Former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama claims some people want to silence him.
While addressing the press in Nairobi on Wednesday, the outspoken National Super Alliance (Nasa) politician claimed that Jubilee agents were trying to silence him politically.
Muthama cited his recent arrest over hate speech as an attempt to harass him.
“I have been arrested, taken to court and detained for charges that don’t warrant to be detained. My troubles began by speaking the truth and defending the people of Kenya by pinpointing wrongs committed by Jubilee government,” Muthama said, as quoted by The Standard.
The outspoken opposition leader and a strong critic of the govenment said he was being targeted by top Jubilee leadership.
“I am a target of Jubilee leadership, from top to bottom. For quite some time, Jubilee has used its agents to harass and silence me politically,” he claimed.
The former senator said he was being used as a balancing tool in war against hate speech.
He was, not long ago, arrested and detained for allegedly uttering inciting words against President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Muthama is now asking the government to arrest and charge him once and for all.
