Huruma Ward Member of County Assembly Kimani Wanjohi has denied allegations linking him to recent violence in Eldoret and Huruma Estate, calling the accusations politically motivated and baseless, July 1, 2025.
Wanjohi, addressing the press in Eldoret, refuted claims made by Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi that he sponsored groups that instigated chaos and injuries during unrest in Uasin Gishu County. The MCA described the allegations as a diversion from law enforcement’s failure to maintain order.
“I was not involved. I had no role in planning or supporting any of it,” Wanjohi said. “Let the National Intelligence Service verify my location, phone records, and financial transactions. I have nothing to hide.”
The unrest, which occurred June 25, followed reports of nationwide protests led by youth groups. Wanjohi emphasized that while he is not part of the Gen Z movement, the right to peaceful assembly is enshrined in Article 37 of the Constitution.
“The responsibility to protect life and property lies with the police,” he said. “When they fail to do so, they have failed the people.”
Wanjohi also addressed claims that he received Sh1 million from unnamed political figures, calling them false and defamatory. “I have never received money from Munyoro or the Deputy President,” he said.
Describing his deep roots in Uasin Gishu, Wanjohi stated he would not be intimidated into silence. “I was elected by 14,000 people—the highest vote count of any MCA in the county. I will continue to serve them fearlessly.”
He called on residents to remain calm and urged security agencies to operate without political bias. “Let’s protect our communities, pursue justice, and demand accountability—peacefully and legally,” he said.
