Senator John Methu caused a stir in Nyandarua on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, during the requiem mass of the late Ol Kalou MP David Kiaraho after his microphone was briefly switched off as he addressed President William Ruto directly.
While speaking at the podium, Methu began by recalling how the late Kiaraho had cautioned local leaders against joining UDA, describing it as a party he did not trust.
He then shifted his remarks toward the president, boldly stating that he was not intimidated by him.
“Wakati tuliingia chama cha UDA, mheshimiwa Kiaraho alituambia hiyo chama ni mbaya hataingia, akaingia Jubilee, na watu wa hapa Ol Kalou mkamchagua. Kwanza kabisa mheshimiwa William Ruto, bado mimi ndio John Methu. Sijabadilika, bado mimi ni Methu wa zamani,” he said.
He went on to add that although there were certain issues he was being cautioned against raising publicly, he would speak out if pushed. Methu maintained that he respects the president as a leader and elder, but emphasized that he does not fea
r him.
