National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi says Senator Lenny Kivuti lied to the President that he would support Runyenjes MP Cecily Mbarire for governor. Muturi on Sunday openly campaigned for President Uhuru Kenyatta’s reelection and for Mbarire. Present were Mbarire, Mbeere North MP Charles Njagagua, Embu speaker Justus Mate, Embu Senate aspirants Geoffrey Ruku, Alexander Mundigi and woman representative hopefuls Monicah Syombua, Wawira Njue and Jane Wanjuki. Muturi said Kivuti led Embu leaders to his office in Parliament in 2015 and told him they had agreed to support Mbarire. Muturi said they swore before him that they would support Mbarire for the seat and asked him to take the message to the President.
