Bahati MP Onesmus Kimani Ngunjiri has told off Environment Cabinet Secretary for linking him as as a person of interest in the murder case of environmentalist Joannah Stuchbury.

Speaking at his Maili Kumi home on Sunday when he hosted youth from all the wards in Bahati, Ngunjiri said the sentiments by Tobiko were baseless.

He said already his legal team is preparing to face Tobiko in court for tainting his name.

“I am not in that league of Tobiko. Let him know that I have a family and also people that I represent. MY lawyers will handle the matter in court” said Ngunjiri.

Detectives are now treating Ngunjiri as a person of interest in the matter.

Environmental Cabinet Secretary, Keriako Tobiko, told the Senate Security Committee on Tuesday, October 26, that Stuchbury was murdered over her relentless efforts to conserve the environment.

CS Tobiko in his submission made a reference to a case before the Kiambu Court that linked a company in which the vocal MP is the director.

In the case, the CS stated that the environmentalist managed to stop the MP from creating an access road through the forest to his personal land. He noted that the MP needs to be probed regarding the matter.

The vocal Nakuru MP and a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto also called on youth to shun divisive politics but rally behind leaders who mean good for the country.

He also used the moment to rubbish claims that he was eyeing a top seat.

According to Ngunjiri, his development record in Bahati is very clear and will be his campaign strategy towards recapturing the seat.

Ngunjiri told off his competitors terming them ‘newcomers’ in politics.

“There are those people going around with propaganda that I will be contesting either as senator or governor. Those are lies which have no room. My record is clear and I will be defending my seat as MP because there is more that needs to be done for my people” said Ngunjiri”.

Details continue to emerge between Bahati Member of Parliament, Onesmus Kimani Ngunjiri, and the murdered prominent environmentalist, Joannah Stuchbury.
