Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has come under fire from Murang’a Jubilee Party leadership for attacking former President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Through Murang'a Jubilee branch secretary Charles Njoroge, the officials in a statement said it was unfortunate that Nyoro started the year by making unfounded claims against the former head of state.

“It's embarrassing that Kiharu MP has proceeded to propagate falsehood as the year 2024 starts,” said Njoroge.

He asked Nyoro to substantiate claims that Uhuru is sabotaging President William Ruto’s government.

“Fifteen months down the line, politicians allied to Kenya Kwanza are hurling insults and blaming Uhuru. It is clear that the Kenya Kwanza administration had no plans or agenda for the country, instead the leadership was looking for scapegoats,” he said.

Njoroge said that Murang’a Jubilee leaders will demonstrate to demand that leaders deliver their mandate.

“The issues include the stalled Mau Mau roads among other crucial programmes the leaders are silent about such as the government's delay in remittance of capitation to facilitate free education as the schools open next week,” he said.

But allies of Nyoro said that Jubilee was seeking political mileage after it allegedly destroyed the country’s economy.

Led by Samuel Kamotho and Jecinta Wangari they said it was wrong for Jubilee party to criticise the Kenya Kwanza government while it is doing the best to revive the economy.

“Give the government time as it pledged and then hold the leaders to account if they fail to streamline the economy,” said Kamotho.
