Editor's Review

The Kikuyu MP has lately been verbally attacking critics of President William Ruto and his government.

Manyatta MP Gitonga Mukunji has launched an onslaught against Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wah, who has lately been going ballistic against any critic of President William Ruto and his government. 

In his jibe against Ichung'wah, Gitonga observed that the Kikuyu lawmaker is overly excited whenever he is in the presence of the president, hence his outbursts on the critics.

According to him, Ichung'wah carries himself in that manner in order to please and endear himself to the president.

"The majority leader suffers from a disease. The disease is caused by extreme pressure and anxiety to impress your senior so that he/she can see and love you. The disease cannot be treated. Visible symptoms are excitement in front of your boss, leading to one saying anything from his head, believable or not, to make the boss feel good," noted Mukunji.

Ichung'wah's intolerance of Ruto's critics came into play on Friday, January 3, when he took on Trans Nzoia governor George Natembeya. 

Natembeya seemed to have rattled the government-leaning leaders and politicians after calling out the state operatives over the recent spate of abductions.

In his speech, the county boss faulted the government for brutally going after young Kenyans for their conduct.

He noted that young citizens were being abducted and others killed for alleged insults against senior government officials.

The governor petitioned Ruto to intervene and sanction an end to the extrajudicial acts perpetrated against civilians.

In his outbursts, Ichung'wah accused the governor of playing saint over the matter of the abduction, yet he (Natembeya) has previously abetted such atrocities.

According to the Kikuyu lawmaker, Natembeya, while serving as the Rift Valley regional commissioner and coordinator, approved the abductions of civilians who were killed and their bodies dumped in Kerio Valley and River Yala.

The MP went on to accuse Natembeya of incitement and asked him to assist the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in solving the abduction cases if he had any knowledge of the abductors.
