Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri vows to sue CS Tobiko over links to Stuchbury murder
Bahati Member of Parliament Kimani Ngunjiri has pledged to sue the Environment Cabinet Secretary Keriako Tobiko over links to the murder of Joanna Stuchbury.
Speaking at his home in Maili Kumi where he had hosted youths from different parts of the constituency, the MP stated that he was not in any way involved in the brutal murder of the 67-year-old environment activist.
He slammed Tobiko for mentioning him as a person of interest stating that he has since instructed his lawyers to file a defamation suit against the CS.
“I have never plotted to harm anyone leave alone kill, it was not fair for Tobiko to list me among the suspected killers without concrete evidence simply because we disagree politically,” he said.
Tobiko told the Senate Security Committee which is probing the matter, that there was a dispute between Ngunjiri and Stutchbury before her brutal murder.
Referring to a case before the Kiambu law courts in 2018, Tobiko submitted that Stutchbury relentlessly fought against Agropack Limited, a company in which Ngunjiri is the director, who were out to grab Kenya Forest Service land.
However, the MP wondered why Tobiko singled him out among the many people and companies which own land in the controversial area around Kiambu forest.
The environment activist was shot dead in July this year near her home after receiving multiple death threats following her campaign against the development of wetlands in a national park.
