Former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga would have become one of the powerful people in the country had Azimio won elections in the 2022 general elections.
According to the reformed gang leader, he was promised the position of Interior Cabinet secretary if ODM leader Raila Odinga would have defeated the sitting head of state William Ruto in the presidential race.
“I would be now the one in charge of Kindiki’s docket because I was promised the Interior Cabinet Secretary position if Raila won the election,” Njenga said in an interview with Kameme FM on Thursday.
He further revealed that he was the one who advised Raila to hold demonstrations after Ruto was sworn in as president.
He claimed that he oversaw over 1000 demonstrations in Nairobi, having being selected as the director of operations for the protests.
“After William Ruto was sworn into office, Baba (Raila) called and asked me my take on the turnaround of events. I told him things didn’t go well. We had a meeting and I advised Raila we deny the election results and start demonstrations. We started demonstrations and I was made Director of Operations. I organized more than 1000 demonstrators at Kamukunji until Raila was unable to access Nairobi CBD,” he said.
At the same time, he took a swipe at DP Rigathi Gachagua for being absent when King Charles III and Queen Camilla visited the statehouse.
“I would ask these people who send him out of the country especially when important guests are coming to the country, why do that?” he wondered.
