Kirinyaga Woman Representative Njeri Maina has called for the arrest of individuals allegedly using her name and that of Senator James Kamau Murango to distribute items without authorization. Maina made the remarks at ACK Church Kutus in Kirinyaga County, emphasizing the need for residents to verify the authenticity of individuals distributing items in the names of the two leaders. She urged residents to take action against those found distributing unauthorized items.
Maina's call for action comes amid a viral video showing women's underwear bearing National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) branding, linked to the two leaders. The video sparked controversy, with Maina denying any involvement in the distribution of the items. She emphasized that she would not distribute personal clothing items such as underwear bearing her name, and condemned the incident as embarrassing to Kirinyaga County.
Maina accused imposters of seeking to damage the reputations of the two leaders and create divisions between them and residents. She vowed to pursue those responsible for allegedly using her name and that of Murango without authorization. The legislator emphasized her commitment to taking on those behind the embarrassing incident, stating that she fears no one.
Senator James Kamau Murango has also denied involvement in the production or distribution of the underwear shown in the viral video. Through his lawyers, Sakimpa & Partners Advocates, Murango stated that he neither printed, procured, bought, supplied nor distributed the items. The lawyers argued that the appearance of Murango's name and the NGAAF branding did not, by itself, establish his involvement.
Maina's remarks were made in response to the growing concern among residents of Kirinyaga County over the unauthorized distribution of items in the names of the two leaders. The incident has sparked widespread debate, with many condemning the actions of those behind the distribution of private clothing items. Maina's office has urged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
The National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) branding on the underwear has raised questions about the possible motives behind the incident.
