Two Jubilee representatives have raised alarm that their lives are in danger over their their association with Deputy President William Ruto.

Kiminini MP Didmus Barasa and Laikipia Woman Representative Catherine Waruguru said they have been receiving threats of various forms ranging from SMS to emails.

While speaking to the media from the Parliament buildings, the legislators two asked the DCI to investigate the threats and arrest those behind them.

MP Barasa said he received an email from an anonymous person who warned him that s/he would come for his head and other body parts “if he doesn’t disengage from campaigns for DP Ruto”.

He further claimed that two armed persons, of whom one is in court, had threatened him earlier.

Additionally, he claimed that someone  had attempted to kidnap his son by posing as his caretaker in school.

“I won’t be cowed to abandon my political stand and support for Deputy President William Ruto.”added Barasa

Waruguru blamed the criminals in her county following thugs who raided her office and stole computers.

She further added saying, “The official promised to teach me a lesson because of our ideological differences.”

“We don’t take the accusations lightly, we want the DCI and other state agencies to probe the threats and bring the culprits to book,” she said.

The woman rep asked Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i to beef their securities as their families were living in fear further cautioning political leaders to stop using their positions to intimidate other leaders.

“Let us meet at the ballot if anyone has differences with me instead of spewing threats. Some of these fellows are losers who want to object any development I initiate in the constituency.”
