Kamanda calls Kikuyus to arms, threatens Wetangula

Senator Moses Wetang'ula has recorded a statement with the police after he received death threats from Starehe MP Maina Kamanda.

Wetang'ula recorded a statement at Parliament Police Station under OB39/17/June 2014 Tuesday at 4:50pm in which he said that Kamanda accosted him on Monday and told him to his face, "Wewe na Raila mumeua watu wetu, we will kill both of you".

Kamanda did not deny or confirm the allegations only uttering that "things are bad" and claiming that CORD was causing trouble with the rallies.

Speaking earlier in Nairobi, Jubilee MPs allied to TNA said they will hold a parallel rally in Uhuru Park on July 7 to counter Cord's planned Saba Saba Day rally at Kamukunji Grounds.

The MPs have also alleged that the Cord rally was a scheme to capture state power through the backdoor. 

They warned that Kikuyus will “not sit at home and watch TV” as Raila took power by force.

Speaking on Tuesday during a rally at Muthurwa Market, the MPs urged Kikuyus to come out and protect the Uhuru Presidency by all means possible should they give an arms call.

“I want to tell Raila that all members of the Kikuyu community will protect Uhuru’s Presidency by all means necessary,” Maina Kamanda said.  “The fact that we are silent does not mean that we don’t know what is happening. I urge you all to be ready to respond when we sound the warning. We must defend the Uhuru Government,” he said.
