Garissa Township MP Aden Duale vehemently opposed intentions by former Mungiki leader Maina Njega to join UDA.
In an interview with a local TV station, Duale said that UDA does not associate with people who instigate violence.
This is after Njenga clashed with DP William Ruto during the hustler campaigns in Laikipia county.
“Maina Njenga and his militia Mungiki have no place in the legislature, they have no place in the politics and I want to see how the security agencies will deal with him after how he conducted himself today,” Duale told NTV on Tuesday night.
The former majority leader condemned Njenga’s action while saying it was unlawful and should be addressed as a matter of security concern.
“Today is a very sad day; the Ministry for Interior must deal with Mungiki. Mungiki cannot be a player in our political arena,” he stated.
Duale further said that Njenga had been previously been denied party candidature because of security concerns.
“I remember Maina Njenga was denied a ticket by President Kenyatta for in 2002 to run on KANU, he denied him a ticket of TNA on 2013, and even told us URP don’t give him a ticket. In 2017, he denied him a Jubilee ticket,” the MP said.
He said that Njega should instead seek an ODM ticket because that is where he belongs.
“I saw when there was a problem in Kisumu, I could see Maina Njenga drinking lucozade.. the heat was too hot for him; but I am sure of the revival of the people of Mt. Kenya playing politics,” he said.
“But Maina Njenga is joining ODM, ODM has got a certain DNA of violence, I think he is in the right place he can go to Kasarani on Friday and join ODM but not UDA, we cannot allow him,” he further said.
In the Tuesday incident an angered DP Ruto and asked Njenga to organize his own meeting instead of coming to jeer at him at hustler nation rallies.
In the end the DP however hinted on working with Njenga after locals asked him to allow him to address them.
