Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro has broken his silence over growing claims that he is acting as a political double agent and secretly working as President William Ruto’s mole, insisting that his recent political silence has been misinterpreted and was never meant to serve personal political interests.

Speaking during a press briefing on Saturday, June 27, 2026, after facing intense online criticism over his recent absence from major political matters, the Kiharu MP admitted that the last week had been politically difficult but said the pressure had pushed him to reflect on his next steps.

“I want to start by saying, as you all know, it has been a very bitter pill for me to swallow for the last one week, but most of the bitter pills, many times, also give us reprieve, and they make us learn and become better,” Nyoro said.

Denies links to government

Addressing the press, Ndindi Nyoro dismissed claims that he was defending government interests.

“There is no way I can speak the things I speak about if I am still in government,” Ndindi Nyoro clarified after apologising for skipping the Finance Bill 2026 vote.

The lawmaker moved to defend himself against accusations that he had deliberately avoided participating in major national decisions, particularly on debates surrounding the Finance Bill and past impeachment discussions, saying his record speaks for itself.

“To my recollection, in terms of all the Finance Bill debates and votes, I have been participating in all the debates and votes, including the year 2025,” he said.

Responds to being a mole

Further, the lawmaker rubbished claims of being a double agent and President William Ruto’s mole. The Kiharu lawmaker defended himself, noting that he had been addressing key issues alone.

“I have been handling my issues alone even though I talk to so many other friends; you have seen me alone,” he insisted.

Nyoro said political rivals were taking advantage of what he described as a moment of vulnerability to paint him as a government insider, dismissing recent claims made by Junet Mohamed.

“Even political competitors get a field day, and they want to maximise on it. Did you believe Junet? The person told me no. Then I told him that the question has been answered,” he said.

The MP asked Kenyans to give him “three to four weeks” to fully outline his political direction, insisting “my silence has not been in vain. It has been for Kenyans, not for my political convenience.”
