Former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga has revealed that Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition leader Raila Odinga promised him a lucrative State job if he won the presidential election.
During an interview with Kameme TV on Thursday, November 2, 2023, Njenga revealed that Raila had promised to appoint him as Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) if he won the top job.
“I would be now the one in charge of Kindiki’s docket because I was promised the Interior Cabinet Secretary position if Raila won the election,” he said.
Njenga also spoke on his involvement in the opposition’s protests early this year.
While spilling the beans, the former Mungiki associate also recalled Raila calling to inquire about his opinion on the turn of events shortly after President William Ruto was sworn in.
Njenga advised Raila at the time to deny the election results and call for demonstrations, and upon mutual agreement, the opposition appointed him Director of Operations for the nationwide protests.
Njenga claims that as director, he organised over 1,000 demonstrators at Kamukunji until the opposition chief was unable to access the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD).
“After William Ruto was sworn into office, Baba (Raila) called and asked me my take on the turnaround of events. I told him things didn’t go well.
“We had a meeting and I advised Raila we deny the election results and start demonstrations. We started demonstrations and I was made Director of Operations. I organized more than 1000 demonstrators at Kamukunji until Raila was unable to access Nairobi CBD,” he said.
