Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba has accused her political rivals of orchestrating a summon by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), claiming it is a plot to stop her from attending President William Ruto’s tour of Kiambu on Saturday.
Speaking to The Saturday Standard by phone, Wamuchomba distanced herself from anti-Ruto chants witnessed during her visit to the constituency on Friday.
"Mimi nilikuwa nimeenda kufanya kazi yangu, mimi ni Mbunge. So I carrying out my constitutional duties. It is a way of intimidating me from going to the stadium," she claimed.
Wamuchomba was summoned to appear before DCI officers on Saturday, April 5, at their Kiambu Road headquarters.
