Former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya has declared his intention to lead protests in the Mt Kenya East region starting Wednesday.
During a conversation with Meru FM on Monday night, the former CS affirmed his support for Azimio leader Raila Odinga and his criticism of the Kenya Kwanza administration. He intends to halt his long political hiatus by instigating opposition rallies in Meru, Muthara, and Maua, citing insecurity in Meru and the excessive cost of living in the country. He will work with disability activist Mike Makarina in leading demonstrations in Meru.
“I am now ready to fight for Kenyans and I won’t be intimidated by government officials. If we do not have a strong opposition at this time, this country will go to the dogs. In Meru, many people have been killed despite several meetings by government officials,” said the former CS.
Munya believes the Azimio protests, as well as the 10 million signature drive, will help promote electoral reforms and measures to lower prices. He stated that Kenyans have the sovereign power to dictate how their affairs should be run, conveying that the signature campaign is meant to demonstrate Kenyans’ discontent over the Kenya Kwanza regime.
Mr Munya poked holes in the ongoing tea reforms led by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, saying that the legislations were tabled under his watch. He further stated that the opposition is determined to organize protests and rallies in a peaceful manner, yet the police are using excessive brutality against the demonstrators. The former CS castigated Ruto’s government for engaging in ‘too much talk’ without action. His assertion echoes political pundit Mutahi Ngunyi’s statement which questions when the Head of State intends to start working for Kenyans.
KENYANS WAKE UP: SAMOEI &…
KENYANS WAKE UP: SAMOEI & RIGATHI ARE DAILY TRASHING OUR KENYAN CONSTITUTION IN ORDER TO REMAIN IN POWER INDEFINITELY: THE CASE OF THE FORNER USA PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.
If you have read my previous posts here in MWAKILISHI you will be able to remember that, I neither supported Raila nor Samoei for the Kenyan presidency in 2022. It is sad that my preferred presidential candidate Kivutha Kibwana was rendered impotent by the financial and mighty powers of the political giants Raila and Samoei.
I am concerned that Rigathi and Samoei are slowly chipping away our New Kenyan Constitution in order to remain in power indefinitely.
Citizens of Kenya have a right to demonstrate peacefully without police interference and harassment. Why is Samoei and Rigathi openly defying the constitution by making it possible for the police to provoke demonstrators and therefore make an excuse to arrest people demonstrating peacefully without possessing tools of violence?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
This former US President has been openly claiming that he won the previous election and therefore has been campaigning in the US without the interference from the police!
Why can’t Samoei and Rigathi learn from the US example by allowing peaceful demonstrations in Kenya? Why are they slowly bringing back the sad days of the late
X Toroitich Kipkorios Arap Moi’s leadership in Kenya?
If Samoei were an American president and stopped peaceful demonstrations, he would have been impeached and left office long time ago. People of Kenya: don’t allow Samoei to get away with his current dictatorial leadership in our country.
Thank you President Uhuru Ngina Kamau for warning the Kenyans against electing an incompetent vice president to run for the presidency (Samoei) who, for ten (10)years neglected his immediate duties and instead took that time to finish his academic doctorate, expanded his business empire while receiving state security and collecting his monthly emoluments for 10 years.
Where is the Attorney General of Kenya? Muturi, please request an urgent meeting between you and Samoei and educate him about the New Kenyan Constitution on demonstrations. Why? The current political stand Samoei is taking against demonstrations is making a mockery of our Constitution and embarrassing Kenyans all over the world.

Why don’t you ask people to…
Why don’t you ask people to seek wisdom however they do it and ask for guidance? What the opposition is doing is retrogressive in the sense that we are governed by law. If the opposition can’t do their fat-paying jobs in government institutions that they were elected in, they should pack and go. Kenya has a bloated government stemming from the new constitution. So almost half of it has opposition members starting from the grassroots in the devolved government. Wafanye kazi huko to straighten the wrongs that they think are not good for Kenyans. Innocent hungry people going to the streets to get shot is not worth it when they have elected leaders. Bora uhai, upiganie kile utacho kipata cha jioni Cha familia yako ingawaje kidogo. Tough times won’t last when we elect working leaders not busy demonstrating and not educating their people. My take.
