Politician Maina Njenga has clarified that he has not mobilized the dreaded Mungiki sect to participate in President William Ruto's ongoing tour in the Mount Kenya region.

Speaking outside the Makadara Law Courts on Wednesday, where he had appeared for a case of unlawful possession of weapons, the politician clarified that he only mobilized youths to hail and welcome the president during his tours in a bid to promote unity between the president and the people of Mount Kenya. "If the president comes to Laikipia, and we were born in Laikipia, why shouldn't we welcome him?

We have to welcome him, wherever he goes, we must welcome him because he is a national leader," the politician explained.

The former Mungiki leader condemned those accusing him of mobilizing Mungiki, revealing that his main focus was to unite the people of Mount Kenya, promote peace, and support regional development.
