Kiunjuri Alleges Government Involvement in Recent Parliament Invasion

Laikipia East Member of Parliament Mwangi Kiunjuri made some startling allegations regarding the June 25, 2024 invasion of Parliament.

In an interview with Inooro TV Kiunjuri claimed that the protests were organized and financed by a government-affiliated office, alleging that four MPs from the Mt. Kenya region had orchestrated the involvement of around 20,000 individuals.

Kiunjuri suggested that the protests, which he likened to the “Occupy Parliament” movement, had been infiltrated by individuals who were allegedly paid to attempt to overthrow the government.

“The office that funded the protests is known by the government. A pig fries itself with its own fat,” he said, without naming the four MPs allegedly involved.

The former Cabinet Secretary also noted that the anti-government protests were primarily concentrated in the Mt. Kenya region, unlike in other areas.

“It was the first time seeing protests infiltrate smaller towns such as Nyeri and Nanyuki. In other regions, like Rift Valley, protests occurred in towns like Eldoret but not in the interior parts of the region,” he said.

Kiunjuri added that in Kisumu, the protests were limited to Migori, whereas in Mt. Kenya, the protests were widespread.

“We burnt our own people’s property,” he lamented.

Kiunjuri’s statements followed President William Ruto’s accusation that the Ford Foundation, an American organization, was sponsoring anti-government protests in Kenya.

“Those who are sponsoring the violence, we know them, and I want to call out those who are behind the anarchy in Kenya. Shame on them!” President Ruto said.

“The young people in Kenya are not available to cause violence and anarchy in their own country. If they (Ford Foundation) are not interested in democracy in Kenya, they should either style up or ship out,” he added.
