MP Alice Ng'ang'a threatens to reveal the identities of 'financiers' behind Azimio protests

Thika town MP Alice Ng'ang'a claims that opposition leader Raila Odinga was paid Ksh.10 billion to incite unrest against President William Ruto's government.

According to the MP, financiers, including a well-known leader whom she did not name, have funded Raila's efforts to create anarchy in the country through mass protests.

Ng'ang'a spoke at AIPCA Thika Cathedral on Sunday during a thanksgiving service for Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria.

Other leaders present included Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi, MPs Martha Wangari (Gilgil), Jane Kihara ( Naivasha), Patrick Munene (Chuka Igamba Ngombe), John Njuguna (Kiambaa), Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu), Maina Karobia (EALA), Rahab Mukami (Nyeri) and Anne Muratha (Kiambu).

The MP claimed that the government is aware of the transaction and has evidence of where it took place, and that they even have photos of the ODM leader and his financiers.

"We know those financing him [Raila] to go and destroy our people's businesses in Nairobi. They are Kikuyus like us and they have been in government.We are aware of the money that they gave him and where they did so. 

"We even have their photos, and if they continue with this we will reveal their names," Ng'ang'a said.

She said that the financiers should come from their hideouts and declare their interests in the destabilization of the government and the country's economy.

Her Naivasha counterpart, Jane Kihara, accused former President Uhuru Kenyatta of being behind the mass demonstrations held by Azimio leaders and supporters.

"Uhuru should tell us where he stands in these protests. He should tell Kenyans who is behind the efforts to distract our President [Ruto] from delivering on his promises," Kihara said.

Meanwhile, CS Kuria urged the former President to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors Daniel Moi and Mwai Kibaki by retiring peacefully and without interfering with the current administration.

Kuria claimed that Uhuru is hiding behind Raila in order to create roadblocks for Ruto's administration.

"We know that Raila is tired due to old age and he is not broke. Not that he doesnt have money but he is stingy. We love and respect the former President [Uhuru] but we are urging him to leave the Kenya Kwanza government alone," Kuria said.

The lawmakers however said that the mass protests will not bar them from working and delivering to Kenyans. 

They said that the Kenya Kwanza government has a clear plan on developing the country and lowering the cost of living.

Last week, opposition chief Raila Odinga announced that the demonstrations will be held on Monday and Thursday every week until the government toes the line and reduces the cost of living.
