Meru Governor Peter Munya has sensationally claimed that his rival Kiraitu Murungi is Deputy President William Ruto’s 'project'.
According to Munya, Ruto is interested in Meru because he (Munya) is a threat to his 2022 presidential bid.
Speaking on Friday Munya said his ambition for vying for presidency will not be derailed by anyone.
“We cannot have leaders who cannot push for development agenda in the county due to their selfish interests.
“Our senator and other Jubilee party aspirants are Ruto’s project in Meru. Their main aim is to ensure Munya does not push for what is rightfully meant for the Meru people,” he said.
The governor was accompanied by his Deputy Peter Kaberia, Tigania West MP David Karithi, Meru Senatorial aspirant Lawyer Mugambi Imanyara, Tigania East Parliamentary aspirant Josphat Gichunge Kabeabea and other PNU aspirants.
Mr Munya further added Ruto was sabotaging the operations of the Party of National Unity because it is a threat to him.
