There was Drama in Nkubu, Meru when County Governor Peter Munya stormed out of a meeting convened by Deputy President William Ruto.
DP Ruto, who has been on the road in recent months consolidating support for the Jubilee Party ahead of the 2017 polls, had camped at the Council of Governors Chair (COG) backyard to ramp up support for the new political outfit.
Addressing the meeting, Mr. Munya stated that he will not bow to political pressure aimed at making him stand with Jubilee in the next polls. He denouced the new Jubilee party and said he will not be forced to join some party.
“Come rain or shine, nobody, no matter their position, can force me, to join a party. In 2017 I will ask for votes under another party, not Jubilee,” Munya said.
Following his statement, members of the public – who were in favour of the Jubilee Party agenda –jeered the COG Chair prompting him to leave the meeting abruptly. However Hon Munya was also acclaimed by his sopporters who said the Meru will not follow blindly any political formation without proper and wide consultations.
Governor Munya has in the past opposed Jubilee Alliance’s move to disband constituent parties in favour of one joint party.

He should at least have stormed out with a few supporters, sasa you storm out as one man, no one even notices when you are gone, harambee inaendelea tu as if nothing happened. This munya is an ODM mole and the faster he realizes that Mt. Kenya is jubilee locked, the better. Even Railas half brother Mpuuri has declared that he is decamping from ODM, you cannot go against the President and the DP Mr. Munya, enda ukule pesa ya ODM na unyamaze kabisa.

its a pity how a genius guys like uaself has a poor sight of good political roadsigns. M
unya is a politician who stands for what he believes in which attracts admiration from friends and foes alike. Munya has a secret political card and any smart guy can see that his card kills the game in his favor during and long after jubilee. he doesnt operate on another leaders mindset and he is a believer of inclusivity and consultation which is the new trend of leadership that will live long after the 21st century

Munya knows verry wel that jubilee has failed to delive what they promised in their manifesto, he is wise leader he is very optimistic that Uhuru wil never and can never be voted by the Meru community since their main cash crop that they rilie on has not been addrese(mirra) .It is Uhuru who advised Waiguru to steal from Nys to be elected nairogoverner so that she can be elected CoG to delay devolution .Waiguru cant win in Nairobi gover let he clear the name first.
isaak says
Munya is correct you cannot be complled to join in a party that has failed to deliver

That was not Munya’s meeting. So walking out alone was all he could do. But forcing Meru to support jubilee blindly is forcing us to sell our bargaining power as a community.

He might as well have walked out of meru gabernatorial seat. Watch kiraitu murungi.

Let everybody be free to join any political party of their choice without intimidation, manipulation, coercion, or blackmail. Kericho and Malindi will vindicate Munya…choice of a political party is not based on returning favours because your son or daughter has been promoted to be a CS, chairperson of a committee or parastatal, CEO of a public institution, ambassador, etc but on the trans-formative agenda of the government in power that tremendously improves the well-being of the very poor, creates employment opportunities, deals with corruption decisively, and makes the public systems to work efficiently! One gift here and another favor there, which are actually the constitutional right of the people, is old style politics that is going nowhere!! A single political party forms naturally and cannot be panel beat by force…that will be unsustainable and will implode sooner or later.

hehehehe, kenya today is a jaluo outfit that does not touch Raila, even when it is as plain as mid day that Raila is quiet on Kideros corruption this sycophantic website will turn a blind eye on both kidero and Raila and assume that life is normal. They will focus on Munya in order to deflect attention from Railas loud silence on Kidero and that the fact that Raila is not a true campaigner against corruption, but he selects whom to use his hippo-sized mouth on. If it his home boy kidero, he slips under the water and assumes a studious silence. But when it favours him. he calls press conferences in Serena and as usual without evidence in order to excite his followers. Munya is deadrubber. Only ODM monkeys think that there will be a contest. Tharaka Nithi votes are the ones which will bury ODM again. The next President after Ruto is Kithure Kindiki a meru. You can continue drawing up scenarios and hallucinating, ooh, Merus wont vote for JP..ohh R.Valley will be 50/50 between ODM and JP. Stupid hallucinations. Your goose is cooked ODM.

Hon Peter Munya… you’re a true leader, i would vote for you if i was from meru. You have refused to join a cartel of corrupt fake leaders.. anyway Ruto can as well go on being cheated about the 2022 presidency. Who knows what ICC is upto afterall?.. The fixers are there surrounding him.

Its now time for meru to have there own party

Mkisii you are right brother, these people from mt kenya have totally brainwashed the DP.. but I can assure them it wont be business as usual if ICC comes up with a funny ruling. Jubilee will be torn into pieces. The problem is that it appears our kales are not active in commenting. Anyway we are peace loving unless provoked. I get annoyed at the rate kikuyus and luos abuse each other both fighting for the kalenjin votes but we know where to go come 2017 if our DP is not left off the hook. Infact we have lost many leaders already starting with Sholei, Chirchir, Felix Koskei, Kiplimo Rugut, Merrian Keitany and now Tunoi etc. Hon Rotich’s fate is unknown, Please wake up my fellow kales. I totally agree with Hon Alfred Keter and Governor Isaak Ruto. Sure they are telling us the truth. Who knows what will happen in 2022 that far? When the deal is good let us think twice. lakini muache kutukanana sisi wote ni wakenya na watoto wa mungu.

Hon Munya, you have every right to do what you want, you would even help our son the DP by telling him the truth. I was in a previous political rally held at 64 stadium before the last general election and a former molo member of parliament told us kalenjins that we should not expect to be rewarded as those people never vote for anybody. whoever was there unless he or she was deaf, can bear me witness.

Those who cant see that kenyan politics have changed are sleeping and will sleep till the end of the world. We are no longer under one party system where people were guided like sheep and were being frustrated to the bream. We wounder what ruto is up to which is making him somuch blind like this. Just look up and see those who are pretending that are supporting you, how many are they in the real sense and from where are they?

Some foolish guy whispered to me last week that, “Munya atamumunywa na Kiraitu kama peremende” come 2017 but i dont think so!! Munya has proved he has gutts to take the bull by it’s horns!! Infact the scanario will be the other way round, Kiraitu kwisha kabisa!!! Munywa ni moto wa kuotea mbali!!

Munya is displaying a defiance that is now in sync with Meru wishes. The Meru political discourse is evolving and he is in step with the new realities.
