Kiambu Jubilee Supporters Vow To Deflate Ruto's Popularity In Mt Kenya: "Hakuna Kunyamaza Tena"

• Kiambu residents threatened to oust President William Ruto over alleged oppression of the Mt Kenya communities
• Jubilee Party official Pauline Njoroge claimed that most Mt Kenya leaders are threatened whenever they try to voice concerns of their electorates
• She argued that the government had halted projects within the region that were initiated by the former regime and also directed all the finances allocated to them to other activities

Kiambu - Furious Jubilee diehard supporters, led by the party's deputy organising secretary Pauline Njoroge, have declared that they will stop President William Ruto's dominance in the Mt Kenya region.

The supporters threatened to dethrone the president amid mounting political temperatures and decisions by Ruto that they deemed unfit.

"We are giving you a warning. Enough is enough. We don't want your liberation. We have decided to liberate ourselves. And the starting time is now! We will all join efforts to ouster you. If you can't come down the tree, we will cut it down!" claimed the residents in unison.

While expressing concerns about Ruto's projects, including affordable houses, Kariuki Kiruga asked the head of state to abolish them and channel the monies to constructing prisons, as they are up to defying his demands.

"Instead of focusing on affordable houses, channel the efforts to the construction of prisons because we are ready to go there. We will stand firm against your oppression. We will not bow down to let you underestimate us," he asserted.

Mt Kenya is not shareholder in government, Pauline Njoroge says

Njoroge accused Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua of consistently lying about the region being a shareholder in the government, yet they have been deprived of benefits allocated to them by the previous administration.

"People of this region cannot be shareholders in this government and the money that was allocated to their projects by the previous government had been taken away to other activities as if they are children of a lesser God," she claimed.

Njoroge lamented that the projects that had been started by former president Uhuru Kenyatta had been halted.

Pauline Njoroge says Mt. Kenya leaders are threatened

According to her, the government has prohibited officials hailing from Mt Kenya from voicing the people's concerns.

"When our MPs try to talk about these issues, they get silenced through phone calls. Cabinet secretaries from this region are transferred to other dockets when they attempt to address issues concerning mt Kenya.

We have been taking comfort in someone else's house and saying we belong there. We have to build our house where we can voice our concerns and not be intimidated. Where we will not be told someone is holding a sword ready to deal with us if we start asking questions. Jubilee is the party that is going to liberate us from this oppression," she added.

Uhuru Kenyatta warns Mt Kenya residents

During the 2022 election campaigns, former president Uhuru Kenyatta asked Mt Kenya supporters to be extra vigilant and not be duped by Ruto's mouth-watering manifestos.

He asked the locals to listen to every presidential aspirant but advised them to scrutinise their promises to make wise decisions at the ballot.

"You people are being lied to so much. Why can't you tell them that what you want is empowerment? My people wake up and know the things that will help you and your generations," he said amid cheers from the audience.
