Kigumo MP Jamleck Kamau has told
Murang’a Governor Mwangi Wairia to stop blaming him and Senator Kembi Gitura
over his woes with the anti-graft agency.
Kamau said Wairia should carry his own cross and answer queries on embezzlement
of government funds.
The MP accused Wairia
of acting with impunity by condoning attack on Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission officials by his supporters.
The supporters reportedly snatched files and other documents from
the officials who raided the governor’s Gatanga home last Thursday morning in search of vital documents connecting him to a number of corruption allegations.
“By hiring goons to attack the EACC officials, the
governor is showing openly there is something he is trying to hide," Kamau said.
He was speaking in Muiri-ini Mixed Secondary School in Kandara on Friday where he accompanied MP Alice Wahome to commission a tuition block built by the CDF.
Kamau described the governor’s action as shameful to
the people of Murang’a and accused him of planning to cause bloodshed in
the county.
“I have had enough of his attacks, including one
during a visit by the Deputy President, which I played cool. But I'm telling
him I am mature in politics and not a coward. I am willing and ready to contest against him in 2017," he said.
"We know he is looking for sympathy, but Murang'a
people are wiser.”
Kamau accused Murang’a county commissioner Kulla
Hache of failing to maintain security and
tame the "errant governor and his goons".
He said Hache is abetting violence and should be transferred immediately.
“The county commissioner has refused to listen to
the advice of Murang'a leaders, even as insecurity continues to escalate," Kamau said.
Wahome accused Wairia of playing politics by blocking the pursuit of
justice and accountability.
“This kind of leadership has never been witnessed in
Murang'a. The EACC and the Senate have a role to play since the report by the
Auditor General about Murang'a government expenditure is in
the public domain," she said.
Wahome said no one has the monopoly of violence and Wairia is panicky after sensing
defeat in next year’s polls.
