Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama has revealed plans by the Jubilee Party to disrupt National Super Alliance (NASA) rallies.
Nyagarama claimed they had tangible information that Jubilee was planning to disrupt NASA rallies in Kisii and Nyamira counties using security agencies and hired gangs.
His sentiments were echoed by Wiper Secretary General Swanya Ogeto who stated that they had received intelligence that the illegal Chinkororo militia has been organised to disrupt rallies at Keroka and Kisii towns.
He accused acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i of organising 500 members of the outlawed group to stop the opposition leaders from speaking in the counties.
Amani National Congress (ANC) Coordinator Walter Mounde further alleged that the CS was using state officers such as chiefs, assistant county commissioners and the police to ensure the NASA rallies were foiled.

"We have just received intelligence that goons from the Chinkororo militia have been organised to stop Mr Odinga from addressing people in Kisii and Keroka towns,” Mr Ogeto stated.
“The Cabinet Secretary will be solely to blame if any person is injured should there be chaos during Mr Odinga’s rally," he added.
Kisii County Jubilee Chairman Sam Nyairo, however, dismissed the allegations from the NASA leaders as false and baseless.
Nyairo stated that the accusations had become a routine every time the NASA flag bearer Raila Odinga was visiting the region.
"No such plans have been made by either the Jubilee Party or the [acting] Interior CS. Those claims are false and baseless aimed at tarnishing the party's good reputation in the region," Nyairo stated.
