Meru governor Peter Munya has responded to claims that he is secretly campaigning for NASA in the region despite declaring his support for President Uhuru Kenyatta.
In an interview with a local daily, Munya denied the allegations.
This is after a number of leaders claimed that Munya helped in ferrying people to a rally attended by Mr Odinga in February.
The claims were fronted by Senator Kiraitu Murungi.
“Senator Murungi can say anything to derail me. But all the things he has said about the death of PNU have proved to be false. He is like a drowning man and is clinging on any straw. The perceived popularity of Nasa in Meru is one of the straws he is clinging onto,” he said.
The former allies who won on the Alliance Party of Kenya (APK) ticket in 2013 have differed over the utilisation of county resources and Mr Munya’s style of leadership.
Mr Murungi accuses the governor of failing to fulfil the pledge to end water shortage in Meru by allocating Sh1 billion every year to the sector.
