A group of 41 MPs from Mt Kenya, Nairobi and Rift Valley allied to DP William Ruto have written a stern letter to President Uhuru Kenyatta ahead of the visit to his backyard on Friday.
In the letter, the MPs decry the state of the economy, alleged betrayal of the DP, political ‘persecution’ and Uhuru’s handshake with ODM leader Raila Odinga.
The 11-page letter also seeks to address what the MPs say is the shelving of the Big Four Agenda for BBI and also tells off the President over his recent utterances.
“The mountain will remain restless, dissatisfied and defiant. Ultimately, full-blown revolt will be inevitable,” the letter coming hours before the President tours the region concludes.
Uhuru is expected to shift base to Sagana from Friday in an attempt to woo the region to support the BBI Constitution Amendments that arose from the handshake with Raila.
The letter comes just weeks after Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata wrote to the President telling him that BBI was facing opposition in Mt Kenya.
Uhuru dismissed the issue but has been on a blitz to woo the region and last week addressed the constituents through Kikuyu stations.
On Thursday, in an interview with Kameme FM, Jubilee Vice-Chair David Murathe, a close ally of Uhuru said that Kang’ata was right but used the wrong method.
Murathe said that the letter by Kang’ata was truthful and those telling the President that they have been campaigning for BBI are lying to him.
