Muturi accuses Junet Mohammed of sending goons to attack opposition team in Migori

Democratic Party leader JB Muturi has alleged that Suna East MP Junet Mohammed orchestrated an attack on his supporters in Migori Town, with the intent to silence opposition and erode democratic freedoms. In a forceful statement, Muturi denounced the alleged assault, alleging that goons had been dispatched to disrupt their operations in the town.

He blamed unnamed political figures for resorting to violence and intimidation instead of engaging in democratic discourse. Muturi characterized the incident as an affront to political tolerance and cautioned that assaults on opposition leaders endangered the democratic space safeguarded by the Constitution. "We will not be silenced.

We will not be intimidated. We will not cede the democratic space that Kenyans fought so hard to secure," he asserted. Muturi maintained that political leaders possess a constitutional right to address citizens, critique government policies, and present alternative leadership without facing intimidation. He called for accountability for those responsible for the alleged attack, cautioning against the acceptance of violence as a means of political mobilization.

Muturi further pledged that the incident would not derail his political endeavors or dissuade him from engaging with residents. "You may dispatch goons to assault us, but you cannot terrorize the people of Kenya into relinquishing their democratic rights," he proclaimed. The accusations against Junet Mohammed had not been verified by independent sources.

Junet did not respond to inquiries regarding the allegations. Several vehicles sustained damage as a result of the attack.
