Murang’a Senator, Joe Nyutu, has dismissed claims that Kiharu Member of Parliament, Ndindi Nyoro, is President William Ruto’s project in the Mount Kenya region.
Speaking during an interview with TV47 on Wednesday, March 19, the senator said Ndindi Nyoro and Ruto fell out last year after Nyoro failed to support the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
“William Ruto will never forgive anyone who either voted No to the impeachment against Rigathi Gachagua or abstained, which was what Ndindi Nyoro did. So there is no other beef, the cardinal sin that Nyoro committed was refusing to be used by Ruto to impeach Gachagua,” he said.
“He is a very principled person and I do not want to think that he is somebody’s project because it would then be against the character of Ndindi Nyoro, I know him and he is my friend. Ndindi Nyoro cannot be President Ruto’s project, and if he allows himself to be used by Ruto, I will be shocked, because that isn’t in his character the way know him and I don’t think he is in the good books of the President otherwise they would be talking, the way they used to,” he added.
This comes a day after Ndindi Nyoro Addressed his recent dismissal as the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee in the National Assembly, the MP claimed that he does not know why he was removed from the committee role.
“I do not know why I was replaced, I am saying it in good faith, I came to set the record straight. No one in the leadership of our coalition has ever called me in regards to the position,” Nyoro revealed.
“I was holding this position knowing that I was serving Kenyans, so I am answerable, I read in newspapers about my removal the same way you did and that is the truth,” he added.
