The Lower Eastern Times Opening The Third Eye
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has denied claims by Nyandarua Senator John Methu that the two met at a hotel to discuss political plans involving the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP).
Speaking during a rally in Kajiado on Tuesday, Nyoro appeared to address Methu’s recent allegations about an alleged political deal involving government officials and opposition leaders.
Nyoro criticised Methu for accusing other opposition figures of working with the government, urging him to exercise restraint and avoid creating divisions within the opposition.
“The other day I saw another big mole on TV; he’s busy calling others in opposition projects and a mole,” Nyoro said.
He further called on opposition leaders to put aside personal differences and remain united as they prepare for the 2027 General Election.
“We are telling you, while in opposition, reduce your anger, envy and jealousy. We as opposition are united. Let’s stop lying,” he added.
Nyoro’s remarks came after Methu recounted an alleged political approach he said he received following the Ol Kalou by-election.
The senator claimed that a government-linked individual contacted him after the by-election and invited him to a meeting, where he was allegedly encouraged to form a political party and position himself to inherit former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s political support base.
Methu further alleged that he was promised financial assistance to establish the party, including Sh10 million to mobilise aspirants.
He said he declined the proposal and sought guidance from trusted political allies, among them Nyoro, whom he described as a brother and someone he could confide in.
Methu claimed he met Nyoro at a hotel and explained the alleged offer to him.
“I called Ndindi Nyoro and met him at a hotel. I told him these guys have offered me this because he’s a person I trust and my brother,” Methu said.
According to the senator, Nyoro advised him against forming a separate party, warning that such a move could divide opposition support.
Methu also alleged that Nyoro expressed willingness to join the DCP, which is led by Gachagua.
He said he offered to step aside as the party’s secretary-general to allow Nyoro to assume a senior leadership position.
“I told him you are actually still senior to me as a second-term member of parliament. If you come to our party, you’ll be automatic number two to Rigathi Gachagua,” Methu stated.
The senator said that was their last conversation.
Methu added that he was surprised when Nyoro later announced that he had established his own political outfit, the People’s Party of Kenya (PPK), saying the announcement contradicted what he claimed they had discussed during their hotel meeting.
“So when I heard him say that he has a party (PPK), I could not believe my ears because that’s not the discussion we had,” Methu said.
He further claimed that Nyoro had previously suggested that the establishment of another political party was a strategy linked to President William Ruto.
Nyoro, however, dismissed Methu’s account of their alleged meeting, insisting that their last interaction occurred during the Ol Kalou by-election, when he was providing financial assistance for the campaign.
“Yesterday, I saw someone on TV claiming they talked with Ndindi Nyoro in a hotel. I am here and the last time we spoke was when I was giving him funds for Ol Kalou by-election,” Nyoro said.
The Kiharu legislator reiterated his call for unity among opposition leaders, urging them to avoid personal attacks and concentrate on their common political goals ahead of the 2027 General Election.
