Asante ya punda ni mateke! This seems to be the case for Igembe South MP John Paul Mwirigi who has said that he is ready to return a car that he was gifted by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
This follows calls that were made by the cabinet secretary for Agriculture Peter Munya. CS Munya castigated Mwirigi for failing to support President Uhuru’s political stand despite being gifted a car when he became an MP.
Mwirigi accused Munya of using the gift to blackmail him into supporting the President instead of Deputy President William Ruto.
“Meanwhile, if at all CS Munya is speaking for the President,(since he has done this repeatedly on different occasions), I may, for the sake of my peace of mind and independence consider returning the gift,” Mwirigi wrote on his Facebook page.

He added: “I will not bear the blackmail by the CS anymore. And, If the attacks are an orchestrated plan to coerce me to change my decision, well it will be an exercise in futility.”
The vehicle is a Toyota Prado. He received it from president Uhuru at Sagana Lodge in 2017.
