Seaking on Sunday in Lari, Kiambu County, when he accompanied Deputy President at a function in the county, Kimani Ichungwa angrily torn into Matiang’i, daring him to arrest Ruto’s brigade if he wants.
Ichungwa in his remarks, labelled Matiang’i, by virtue of being an Abagusii as a man-eater, something that attracted wide criticism from the public.
The MP told Matiang’i to eat all of them (Tanga-tanga) and fill them in his stomach, insisting that they will still follow the deputy president despite the threats.
“And for you Matiang’i, after eating and getting satisfied, you are now coming back to vomit on us. We want to tell you that we have not forgotten about the Ruaraka land. We will prove to you that we are not stupid. Don’t think that you will threaten us because you have the police,” remarked Ichungwa.
The visibly angry legislator slammed the CS for allegedly intimidating Ruto’s camp using stern warnings and his influence in the police force.
“Now because you have the policemen at your disposal, come and arrest us, if possible swallow us but one thing is for sure, we are not leaving William Ruto’s camp,” the legislator ranted.
His remarks, however, didn’t go well with many online users who accused the legislator of stereotyping the Kisii community as man-eaters.
Many demanded that the MP apologises to the Kisii community immediately as his remarks were more likely to bring hatred among Kenyans.
While speaking on Friday at a function in Kirinyaga county, Matiang’i had strongly dismissed claims that he, together with his Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho were frustrating William Ruto and his Tanga-tanga brigade
Matiang’i said they were only serving the interests of the president, insisting that he would not be cowed by critics, a statement clearly addressed to DP Ruto and his brigade.
