Kiambu Woman Rep Gathoni Wamuchomba claims her life is in danger after receiving death threats over her support for the Building Bridges Initiative.
This follows the threats she has been receiving on Facebook.
According to Wamuchomba, there is a “well-choreographed plan” to intimidate her into agreeing to the demands of the BBI opponents.
She said she had recorded a statement with the DCI following what she describes as persistent threats to her life.
“There are people sending threats to my life on Facebook. They have openly threatened my life on my Facebook page as per the below posts. I request protection. If anything happened to me as I sell BBI they are squarely to blame, Pray for me.” she said in one of her posts.
The lawmaker told The Standard she has been receiving malicious posts on her Facebook page with an intention to tarnish her reputation. She said some of the threats have been circulated on various social media platforms which have further put her life at risk.
“Those responsible for the threatening posts should tell Kenyans what the coded language they are using means. That is why I am not taking the threats lightly because my life is in danger,” she said as reported by The Standard.
The MP also claimed that one of the suspects behind the threats is already in custody after being charged in a Gatundun court.
She asked the police boss Hillary Mutyambai to beef up her security.

“It makes you wonder whether you’ve put your life inadvertently at risk as a result of your choices on the BBI,” she said.
She attributed the threats to a November 5 incident where she was heckled as she addressed Githunguri residents during an event attended by Interior PS Karanja Kibicho.
Wamuchomba urged the youth not to allow politicians to use them at their expense.
