Ndindi Nyoro Reveals How Meru Governor Kiraitu Was Blackmailed to Join Azimio

While appearing on K24 TV on Tuesday, Nyoro alleged that Kiraitu was summoned to State House, Nairobi, where the riot act was read to him by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The outspoken Kiharu Legislator argued that Kiraitu was threatened with possible prosecution over his alleged involvement in the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) scandal if he failed to join Azimio.

The vocal legislature allied to the Deputy President’s side revealed that the Meru governor had struck a deal with DP Ruto and was set to join Kenya Kwanza before being called for an impromptu meeting at State House.

"What we have witnessed is that we have a coalition of people being blackmailed and being threatened to support a candidate who a majority of them do not believe in.

"I can cite Governor Kiraitu Murungi who was to join Kenya Kwanza, unfortunately, he had a case with KEMSA and they threatened that he would be jailed for it," claimed Nyoro.

Nyoro added he was ready to provide evidence over the same in the event that the government denied the claims.

"He can come out and deny and I will show the evidence for this. It is out there. Most of the leaders have been blackmailed and in the coming weeks to shall see more people saying enough is enough," he stated.

The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) MP added that more leaders and political parties were set to join Kenya Kwanza even as political realignments take shape.

Earlier on, Tharaka Nithi Senator, Kithure Kindiki, disclosed that Kenya Kwanza principals had held several talks with the Meru governor and he had agreed to join the coalition. Kindiki stated that they were stunned by the governor's move to join Azimio. 

"We have done our analysis, we have done our research, the next President of the Republic of Kenya is Raila Amollo Odinga," Kiraitu stated while joining Azimio.
