How suspected government-backed bloggers are creating tension in Linda Mwananchi

A campaign portraying Linda Mwananchi leaders as divided is underway online, aiming to undermine the movement's momentum ahead of the 2027 General Election, according to The Standard Kenya.

Caleb Amisi, Saboti Member of Parliament, has defended retired President Uhuru Kenyatta against claims linking him to Linda Mwananchi. Amisi, who was part of the movement, described it as relying on member contributions to organise activities and mobilise resources.

Members, Amisi said, would contribute money among themselves and channel the funds through the movement's treasurer, providing a straightforward way to pool resources and support activities. This was Amisi's experience up to the time he was involved with Linda Mwananchi.
