Sunday, January 5, 2025 - Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has remained steadfast, asserting that he will not be silenced for speaking the truth.
Natembeya rattled President
William Ruto and his allies on Friday during the burial of Speaker Moses
Wetangula’s mother after he called out the state operatives over the recent
spate of abductions.
In a tweet yesterday, Natembeya
vowed to continue facing the holders of power with truth and calls for
accountability.
Natembeya said he would not be
intimidated into submission.
"I shall stand and speak for the people. I will not be cowed," he said.
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.
National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah was among the leaders who criticized Natembeya for his remarks.
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, during his tenure as Rift Valley Regional Commissioner and Coordinator, authorized the abduction of civilians whose bodies were later 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.
