Narc Kenya Party leader Martha Karua has faulted President William Ruto over his warning to the Azimio coalition in regard to the revival of the outlawed Mungiki group.
Speaking on Wednesday, June 14, Karua asked President Ruto to stop profiling youth from the Mt Kenya region saying they are the same people who he asked for votes during last year’s general election.
Karua went on to allege that President Ruto instructed his close allies to use youths from the Mt Kenya region to cause mayhem during Azimio demos and raid the Northlands farm in Ruiru, which is owned by the Kenyatta family.
“I want to remind him that these are the same youth he requested for votes, calling them hustlers. These are the same youth he instructed his lieutenants for criminal activities, raiding the farm of the Kenyatta and also causing mayhem in Kibera and other places during demonstrations,” Karua stated.
She further stated that the Azimio coalition has not used youth from the Mt Kenya region for any political activity.

Karua claimed that the President’s warning is a move to curtail Azimio’s political activity in the Mt Kenya region.
“Stop profiling youth from Mt Kenya this is meant to curtail any political activity in Kenya, cow us as leaders from Mt Kenya, and make us afraid of mobilizing,” she added.
President Ruto on Tuesday fired a warning at Azimio leaders saying he would not allow any attempts to revive the Mungiki sect.
“Wale viongozi wetu wa upinzani wanajaribu kutueleza ya kwamba ati wanataka warudishe Mungiki, waanze mambo ya bhangi, watoze ushuru isiyo halali na wahangaishe kina mama wetu. Nawaambia kama mnafikiri Mungiki ni kitu ya maana sana pelekeni watoto wenu huko muachane na watoto wa taifa letu la kenya,” Ruto stated.
He added “Mambo ya Mungiki haiwezi kurudi Kenya hii, tunajua hasara imetupatia na vile vijana wetu wamehangaishwa na haya mambo haiwezekani.”
