National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah is pushing for an investigation following the raid on retired President Uhuru Kenyatta’s family estate on the Eastern bypass on Monday, March 27, 2023.

In an interview with The Standard, Ichung’wah distanced himself from the crimes, saying his previous statement alluding to plans of the invasion was taken out of context.

He claimed he was speaking for MT Kenya people.

“I am a resident of Central Kenya, and I know what the people there are saying about the former first family. On Monday, March 20, I only relayed what the people of Mount Kenya had long been saying about the Kenyattas,” he stated.

He noted that he is open to investigations regarding the raid.

“I’m flattered to hear that people think I have a lot of money. If anyone suspects that I had a role to play in the Northlands farm invasion, then I’m open to investigations. The police can access my phone to establish who I spoke to if I did any mobilization, or which places I visited on or before Monday, March 27. I’m ready to have an investigations file opened against me,” he added.

Speaking of the news, the Kikuyu MP stated that he only learnt about the happening at Kenyatta’s farm via social media before local media aired it.

“I first saw on social media the reports claiming that unknown people had invaded the former president’s farm… It was after a local TV station aired live footage of what was happening at the farm that I got to know that the incident had indeed taken place,” Ichung’wah said.

In his earlier statement on March 20, 2023, he questioned Uhuru Kenyatta’s legitimacy in owning several parcels of land.

“I want to ask our former president to respect other people’s property. If you cannot do that, we have so many questions to ask you starting with the land you occupy in Ruiru, Taita Taveta, and Nakuru. If you attack people’s property, we will also attack your land and ensure those that do not have also get a share,” Ichung’wah stated.
