Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya denied claims that he received Ksh40 million from State House Comptroller Katoo Ole Metito or any other government official.
Salasya made the statement on Saturday, May 10, saying he is not part of any government project or funded by State House.
"Let me be crystal clear, for the avoidance of doubt: I am NOT a UDA project. I am NOT funded by the State House. I have NEVER received a single cent, let alone Ksh40 million, from Katoo Ole Metito or any government official. Full stop," Salasya stated.
In his statement, he dismissed the claims, asserting that they are merely political propaganda aimed at discrediting him.
"These claims are nothing but cheap, lazy propaganda manufactured by cowards who are terrified of the political wave I am building across the nation."
"They can’t match the momentum, they can’t match the courage, and they can’t match the connection I have with the people—so they resort to lies," he added.
Salasya also responded to questions about his financial transparency, pointing out that he had shared his payslip openly.
"Yes, I posted my payslip. I don’t hide. I am transparent. I earn what every MP earns. But unlike others, I don’t worship money—I serve the people. What you’re witnessing isn’t money at work. It’s pure strategy, unmatched charisma, and massive goodwill from Kenyans who believe in the future I represent," he said.
The MP added that no money from the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) had been misused, highlighting that all projects are visible and trackable.
"Let me be very firm: Not a single cent of Mumias East CDF has been misused. Not even a shilling. Our projects are visible, trackable, and transformative. Ask the students, the schools, the hospitals, and the parents on the ground. We’re delivering, not looting," he stated.
He also addressed critics questioning his nationwide tours, asserting that his support comes from ordinary Kenyans.
"To those whispering in corners, speculating how I'm able to tour the country, I am not your ordinary politician. I am a man of the people. A man of destiny. Supported by a network of patriotic Kenyans who want change, not cartels," Salasya noted.
In a statement on April 28 on his social media pages, Salasya revealed that his decision to vie for the presidency of Kenya in the next election comes after deep reflection, wide consultations, and careful consideration of the state of the nation.
