Wednesday, June 17, 226 - Outspoken Mumias East MP, Peter Salasya, has sensationally claimed that the Linda Mwananchi movement is President William Ruto’s ‘project’ designed to divert Kenyans from the broader opposition agenda.
The faction, led by leaders such as Nairobi Senator Edwin
Sifuna, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and Siaya Governor James Orengo, has gained
prominence in recent months after distancing itself from ODM leadership allied
to Siaya Senator Oburu Oginga.
In a video shared on his social media platforms, Salasya
challenged the group’s leaders to declare their political ambitions openly.
“If you are truly seeking the leadership of this country
and not driven by selfish interests, what is stopping you from declaring your
intentions now?” he asked.
The vocal legislator went further, accusing the faction of
being used by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) to confuse Kenyans.
“You are moles, prophets of doom. You pretend to stand
with Kenyans, yet you are dining with those frustrating them through poor
leadership,” he claimed.
Salasya said he has actively pursued his own presidential
ambitions, holding engagements across different regions, but alleged that Linda
Mwananchi figures attempted to undermine his meetings through parallel events.
He declared his support for the broader opposition coalition
led by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader,
Rigathi Gachagua and Trans Nzoia Governor, George Natembeya.
“If you want to vie for the presidency, then declare it
openly. But you will not confuse us, and you will not confuse Kenyans,” Salasya
concluded.
