Wednesday, January 07, 2026 - Controversial Political Analyst, Prof. Mutahi Ngunyi, has come to the defense of Suna East MP, Junet Mohamed, who faces accusations of mismanaging agent funds during the 2022 elections, allegedly contributing to Raila Odinga’s loss to President William Ruto.
The storm began after ODM Secretary General, Edwin Sifuna,
accused Junet of “eating” campaign money reportedly contributed by former
President Uhuru Kenyatta to pay party agents.
Sifuna disclosed that a significant portion of the campaign
budget came directly from Uhuru, yet Junet and other ODM leaders have recently
accused the former President of fueling divisions within the party.
Junet swiftly dismissed the allegations, insisting that the
funds never passed through him or ODM structures.
Instead, he claimed the money was released by Uhuru to his
brother, Muhoho Kenyatta, who appointed Peter Mburu to oversee agent
recruitment and payments.
According to Junet, Mburu presented himself as an IT expert
capable of safeguarding results, but agents were never deployed in key regions.
Taking to X, Prof. Ngunyi defended Junet, alleging that
Uhuru was insincere in his support for Raila.
He claimed that the former President secretly worked to
sabotage Odinga’s campaign through then‑Interior CS Fred Matiang’i.
“Junet is innocent. Uhuru wanted Raila to lose in 2022. The
architect of this failure was Matiang’i. I was there. I saw it. Strategy: Use
Baba as a decoy, give Ruto the presidency for 10 years, then in 2032 make
Matiang’i president. No opposition. This was the plan,” Ngunyi wrote.
His explosive claims have triggered mixed reactions online, with some netizens accusing him of dishonesty and attempting to endear himself to President Ruto.
