Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery has threatened to file a lawsuit against two local Opposition leaders from Kajiado County.

Speaking on Tuesday, Nkaissery accused Kajiado Governor David Nkedianye and Kajiado Central MP Memusi Kanchori of defamation after the two claimed that Nkaissery was plotting to eliminate them ahead of the August polls.

"I'm waiting for the full details of the report after which I will take a legal action. Anytime you make an allegation, you must have evidence. By the way, do I look like someone who can eliminate my kinsmen just because of politics?" He posed.

He observed that he has been charged with the responsibility of protecting and safeguarding Kenyans and therefore would not engage in the contrary.

Nkaissery accused Ndekianye and Memusi of seeking sympathy votes upon realizing that they have lost support from the electorate.
