'I Will Not Be Intimidate'’: MP Kimani Njunjiri Claps Back at Uhuru

Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri on Wednesday hit back at President Kenyatta after he accused him of hurling insults at him.

On Tuesday, Kenyatta was in Nakuru to launch a cement factory in Salgaa and later made stop overs in Bahati Constituency where he warned MP Njunjiri to stop him.

“I want you people of Bahati to tell me whether you are the ones who send this person [Ngunjiri] to insult me all the time. Ask him what I did to him? Are you the ones who send him? Because he says he is representing the people who send him,” said Kenyatta as the crowds chanted No.

“Tell him to leave me alone. Let him do his job and let me do mine instead of him making noise on radio and TV.”

Responding to Kenyatta on Wednesday, MP Ngunjiri stated that he will not be intimidated by the president’s remarks and vowed to continue criticizing him.

“It was very shameful because he [Kenyatta] left nothing with our people. Nothing not even promising nothing. All he said is that he will come again.”

Ngunjiri, an ally of Deputy President William Ruto, also refuted claims that he insulted Kenyatta, noting that he only gave his opinions.

“Even when he was coming to say I abused him, he did not mention the words I used. I have been challenging and giving my opinion. What is wrong with that?” posed Ngunjiri, who was speaking to Citizen TV.

“That is not the way to go Mr. President. Call your people and talk with them. The President said that I should be told to let him do his job while I concentrate on my duties as an MP. I would like to remind the President respectfully that as an MP I am mandated to represent the voice of the people and also oversight the executive.”

“I have been faithfully executing my mandate and the President should accept the fact that, in spite of him being the Jubilee Party Leader, I don’t have to agree with his views all the time,” he remarked.
