MPs allied to President Uhuru Kenyatta are now demanding that
leaders who give huge cash donations in churches to explain the source of their wealth or risk arrest.
The leaders went on to back President Kenyatta’s war against graft and demanded that investigative agencies help recover assets accrued from graft adding that the vice was fighting back.
They gave an example of a first term governor whom they said had bought two houses in Runda, Nairobi, worth more than Sh300 million from alleged graft proceeds.
Nominated MP Maina Kamanda who is emerging as a leader of Mt Kenya MPs opposed to Deputy President William Ruto succeeding President Kenyatta in 2022 said the Jubilee Party leader could have been sent home even by MPs from Central Kenya due to “money and greed.”
The leaders spoke as some Mt Kenya leaders pushed for Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri to help unite two Jubilee Party rival groups ahead of the 2022 elections.
