MP accuses NGOs of working for foreign powers

An MP has criticised the civil society for acting as puppets of foreign countries.

Kigumo MP Jamleck Kamau accused NGOs agitating for Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta to step down from his post over the ICC charges he is facing of vendetta driven by Western nations.

He alleged that they were being used by foreign powers to cause “disorder” in the country.

“The civil societies are behaving badly and are not taking this country in the right direction. They are being used by Western nations,” Mr Kamau claimed in his constituency at the weekend.

Mr Kenyatta, Eldoret North MP William Ruto, former Civil Service boss Francis Muthaura and radio presenter Joshua arap Sang are facing charges of crimes against humanity in The Hague.

Mr Kamau said the G7 Alliance led by Mr Kenyatta, Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka and Mr Ruto would not disintegrate.
