Lately the ODM leader has been meeting leaders who are partly implicated in gross violation of public offices. There has been a perception that once you meet the ODM leader your sins are sanitised. This has been going on for long and today the daily nation has smoked him out by carrying a headline that carries huge implications on the character of ODM leader.
Whether he met her or not the headline has caused him to come out and explain himself to the public because it was being assumed that the embattled Kirinyaga governor will get refuge under his umbrella. If Daily nation is right or wrong but one thing it has done, is to smoke ODM leader out. For long people have assumed that he is siding with people who have plunged and plundered public funds into their pockets.
In a tough statement the ODM leader said,
” I am deeply concerned about the false story published in the Sunday Nation today, 14th June 2020, that I held a meeting with the recently impeached Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru in a bid to save career.”
He said, ” No such meeting with Ms. Waiguru or the other governors, James Nyoro of Kiambu and Mutahi Kahiga of Nyeri took place as reported in the Sunday Nation”
The statement fruther said, ” I also wish to make it clear that there does not exist any Senate Committee to investigate governor Waiguru and whose members from ODM I have instructed to save the governor as reported in the Nation Sunday”
The troubled leader has accused the daily nation for reporting this story without facts. He finally concluded
” The matters around governor Waiguru and which the Sunday Nation purports to be analyzing and reporting on are critical with regard to strengthening Devolution and governance in Kenya. They require objective and deep reporting, based on verifiable facts, which is hard work, and not a collection of rumours and trivia from anonymous sources, which is the epitome of lazy journalism”
