Mt Kenya Women MPs accuses Citizen TV for giving former outlawed Mungiki leader Maina Njenga much airtime
They expressed fears that there are plans to revive the outlawed sect that murdered innocent people back in 2000s
Led by Faith Gitau[Nyandarua] and Jane Kihara [Naivasha] they urged Interior CS Kithure Kindiki to reign on its revival attempts
Women leaders from Mt Kenya region have noted in concern the recent attempts to revive the outlawed Mungiki sect calling Interior CS Kithure Kindiki to crack down their sympathisers and financiers.
Speaking at Parliament Buildings on Wednesday 22nd November, led by Nyandarua MP Faith Gitau, the legislators expressed concern over the resurgence of the outlawed Mungiki sect in the region.
In a long statement which was read by about five female MPs, unanimously, condemned efforts to resurrect the Mungiki sect which terrorised Mt. Kenya residents and Kenyans in general in the early 2000s.
“As mothers, we remember the terror, atrocities and chilling experiences that Mungiki unleashed within Central Kenya, we remember the fear, the terror, we remember the pain,” Gitau who’s Parliamentary Service Commissioner said in the joint statement
During that time Mungiki perpetrated many atrocities against the people including; forced circumcision and raping of women, intimidation and extortion in the public transport, intimidation and extortion of construction businesses, intimidation and imposition of illegal taxes on farmers and households, mindless violence and killings.”
The MPs subsequently urged Interior CS Prof. Kithure Kindiki to take decisive action in suppressing any resurgence of the banned Mungiki sect
“No political agenda is worth the kind of pain Mungiki will bring to our people. We know how many were killed in the crackdown of 2003/4 and we cannot sit and watch this happen again,” said the MPs.
“We are calling on all Kenyans to join us in loudly condemning these groups and those behind them.”
The legislators added that they will rally women from across the country for “a mother of all” demonstrations to drive their message home effectively.
Additionally, the legislators accused Royal Media Services for hosting former Mungiki Leader Maina Njenga for two hours, where they called government to stop any attempts to revive the sect
