Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu has kept the internet blazing just hours before he makes his appearance at K24 Tv’s Punchline show slated for Sunday evening.
Wambugu Ngunjiri, the man who started the ‘kitaeleweka’ slogan and seems to have taken an oath to stop Deputy President William Ruto from ascending to power in 2022is expected to explain why he is hellbent to stop Ruto’s presidency.
His slogan ‘Kieleweke’ has morphed into a full-blown anti-Ruto movement that seems to be tearing the party apart.
With his usual attacs on Ruto, Tanga Tanga group now claims Ngunjiri never left the Orange Democratic Movement and is in fact, a Raila Odinga mole in Jubilee Party.
This bitter feud within Jubilee seems destined to split the party before the 2022 General Election.
This political storm within Jubilee was caused by former Jubilee vice-chairman, David Murathe, in January when he openly questioned the political pact between President Kenyatta and DP Ruto.
Why does Nyeri Town MP Wambugu Ngunjiri fear a Ruto presidency? He started the 'Kitaeleweka' slogan which has morphed into an anti-Ruto movement hellbent on ensuring that the Deputy President never ascends to the presidency. Why target Ruto?

Murathe claimed there was no such political pact that guaranteed DP Ruto automatic support for his presidential candidacy by the vote-rich Mt Kenya block.
Another question Wambugu is likely to face is whether the Kieleweke faction supports the call for a referendum and what constitutional amendments they would like enacted around the presidential succession.
But even as the viewers eagerly wait to hear what Wambugu will have to say, some have already lashed out at the vocal MP terming his usual allegations against Ruto as baseless and with no facts.
Here are the already trending comments on Twitter;
Bure kabsa ,What was earlier seen as a bare Knuckle fight against corruption from kieleweje has now mutated into an overt anti Ruto well oiled machinery with blessings of pro BBI elites

Ngunjiri is one of the most toxic ethnic kyuks who believe that he is entitled to the country’s leadership and that Uhuru is an unquestionable leader. Even Uhuru doesn’t believe in himself the way Ngunjiri does.
