Governor Munya is an Opposition mole, alleges Linturi

Igembe South MP Mithika Linturi has accused Meru Governor Peter Munya of being an Opposition mole, saying that despite public proclamations of backing President Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election bid, Munya has been working with the National Super Alliance (NASA).

Mr. Linturi alleges that Governor Munya has been financing NASA campaigns in Meru, including providing money to local administrators to lobby and ferry crowds to attend Opposition rallies in the county.

“Munya always says that PNU supports President Kenyatta’s re-election. We saw other parties like Narc-Kenya and KANU holding a delegates conference and endorsing the president, but why is PNU not doing the same?” argued the Linturi.

Speaking during a Jubilee rally in Githongo, Imenti Central Meru Senator Kiraitu Murungi stated that the county still remains a Jubilee Party stronghold.

Kiraitu, who is facing off against Munya for the Meru County top seat come August 8, said that the incumbent is the only one who is backing NASA in the region.

He also took a swipe at Munya’s development track record, arguing that his competitor had not served the constituency well during his tenure as governor.

“Governor Munya has not done enough for this county. When I become the next governor, I will liaise with government so that I am given funds to set up development projects,” said the senator.

The leaders were speaking during a Jubilee campaign rally in Githongo, Imenti Central.
