Lawyer Ndegwa Njiru raised concerns about former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i’s political intentions. He suggested that Matiang’i’s growing prominence was not organic but rather a calculated move to support President William Ruto’s reelection bid. Njiru implied that the former CS’s presidential ambitions were influenced by state interests, particularly through the National Intelligence Service (NIS).
Njiru cast doubt on Matiang’i’s loyalty to the opposition. He pointed to instances where the former CS appeared reluctant to join collective political activities. Reports indicate that Matiang’i distanced himself from opposition tours in regions such as Kisii and Narok, raising speculation about his commitment to the coalition’s broader strategy. His return from the United States was also viewed as discreet, fueling further suspicion about his political direction.
The remarks immediately drew backlash from supporters of Matiang’i and opposition leaders, who viewed the claims as divisive. Facing mounting criticism, Njiru later softened his stance and clarified his position. After holding discussions with Matiang’i, he confirmed that the former CS remained firmly aligned with the opposition.
In a conciliatory statement, Njiru acknowledged that his earlier comments may have been influenced by political tensions within the Gusii community. He issued an unconditional apology to Matiang’i and retracted the claims, stressing that his commitment now lay in fostering unity within the opposition and ensuring the movement’s momentum ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The episode reflects the fragile balance within Kenya’s opposition as the country prepares for the next election. Allegations of state-engineered political projects highlight the deep mistrust among political players, while Njiru’s retraction underscores the importance of unity if the opposition hopes to mount a serious challenge to President Ruto’s reelection bid.
