Munya condemns attack as Meru politics heat up

Former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya and Tigania East parliamentary aspirant Jacob ‘JJ’ Titus have condemned an attack on a PNU motorcade in Mikinduri, Meru County. The attack, which occurred on Saturday, September 26, 2027, involved armed groups blocking the motorcade and stoning vehicles, causing damage and injuring several supporters.

Both politicians blamed the incident on groups linked to area MP Lawrence Mpuru Aburi and called for investigations into the violence. Titus, a Nairobi-based businessman and philanthropist seeking to unseat Aburi, urged politicians to allow their opponents to campaign freely without intimidation. Munya, seeking the Meru governorship on the PNU ticket, emphasized that political differences should not prevent leaders from exercising their democratic rights.

The incident comes as political competition intensifies in Meru ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
