Githunguri Member of Parliament Gathoni Wamuchomba has been summoned to appear at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters on Kiambu Road on Saturday, April 5.
This comes hours after a viral video showed her marching with a crowd chanting "Ruto Must Go" in Githunguri on the evening of Friday, April 4.
The incident occurred just as President William Ruto was scheduled to visit Githunguri in Kiambu for his Mt. Kenya development tour on April 5.
While the motive for the summons was not officially revealed, the directive for her to appear before the DCI is seemingly tied to her alleged role in mobilizing the crowd.
Wamuchomba confirmed this through a statement on X, stating that she received a call from the County Criminal Investigation Officer.
"The CCIO Kiambu has, through a telephone call, summoned me because the great people of Githunguri refused to be lured by fake promises and projects that never materialized," she stated.
"Arrest can be done, but it will not change the facts," her further statement read.
On Sunday, March 30, Irungu Nyakera declared that he would be skipping President William Ruto's highly anticipated Mount Kenya tour.
Wamuchomba, a staunch ally of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, is one of those who had issued demands ahead of the President's trip to the mountain.
In an open letter to the President on March 30, Wamuchomba urged the president to nullify the newly gazetted coffee levies, which, she noted, highly affected farmers in the central region.
"Dear Mr. President, as you prepare to visit the Central region, please note that we are uncomfortable with your latest proposed and gazetted levies on the coffee value chain," Wamuchomba noted.
''Your CS in charge of Treasury and Economic Planning gazetted a regulation introducing new levies on coffee sales without farmers' consultations and clearance by the National Assembly. This was on February 7, 2025.''
