Azimio la Umoja – One Kenya coalition has now dismissed rumours that the coalition’s Secretary-General Junet Mohammed misappropriated funds meant for agents during the just-concluded August 9 election.

In a statement shared by Raila Odinga Campaign Secretariat spokesperson Makau Mutua, the coalition desisted the allegations reiterating that the Suna East Member of Parliament (MP) never handled funds meant for agents.

“We have seen shameful and disgusting attacks on some members of our campaign on the question of agents. Defamatory and obviously false allegations of the misappropriation of campaign funds are flying on social media,

“Let me state without equivocation that Hon Mohammed was a campaign lad in the field supporting the Rt Hon Raila Odinga. He at no time-even once-handled funds meant for agents. Nor did Mr Mohamed have anything whatsoever to do with the management of agents,” the statement reads in parts.

While maintaining that the August 9 elections were bungled, the coalition further stated that the claims circulating are merely false propaganda that members of the public must detest.

“We acknowledge there is disappointment about how the IEBC conducted the election and with the decision of the Supreme Court, but malicious allegations against Hon Mohamed and any of the secretariat staff should be beneath the dignity of every person,” the statement added.
