Narc-K Party Leader Hon Martha Karua addressed ongoing speculations regarding the financial backing of the newly-formed Kamwene Unity Forum. The political platform, which has been established to champion the interests of the Mt Kenya region, has been at the center of controversy following claims that former President Uhuru Kenyatta is its primary financier.
During an exclusive interview with the Weekly Review, Hon Karua firmly dismissed the allegations that the former president is bankrolling the initiative. She expressed her disappointment with the Kenya Kwanza camp’s persistent association of Mr. Kenyatta with the Kamwene Unity Forum’s activities. “It is regrettable that every political discourse seems to unnecessarily drag in the name of Uhuru Kenyatta,” stated the Iron Lady, emphasizing the independence of their political movement.
The clarification comes in the wake of media reports suggesting that the Kioni-Karua outfit might be operating under the financial patronage of Mr. Kenyatta. These reports have sparked a wave of political discourse across the nation, with many questioning the true motives behind the establishment of the Kamwene Unity Forum.
Despite the controversies, the forum is gaining traction among the residents of Mt Kenya, who feel disillusioned with the current government’s promises made during the run-up to the 2022 general election. The sentiment on the ground suggests a growing support for the political direction steered by Jeremiah Kioni and Martha Karua, as they prepare for the upcoming 2027 general election.
The Kamwene Unity Forum is positioning itself as a viable alternative for those seeking a new political narrative in the region. With its leadership’s commitment to transparency and regional development, the forum is quickly becoming a beacon of hope for many who aspire for change.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, the eyes of the nation remain fixed on the unfolding developments within the Mt Kenya region. The Kamwene Unity Forum, under the stewardship of seasoned politicians like Martha Karua, is set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Kenyan politics.
