Junet Mohamed, the Minority Leader in the National Assembly, has denied allegations of a plot to replace Kithure Kindiki as Interior and Coordination Cabinet Secretary.
In a statement issued on Saturday, October 26, the Suna East lawmaker stated that he was content with his current position as Minority Leader and had no desire to serve in President William Ruto’s Cabinet.
While dismissing the allegations as unfounded innuendos, the MP stated that he was currently focused on his recent appointment as leader of the minority party in Parliament.
He added that, despite his desire to serve Kenyans in any capacity, he was not one of those vying for a government position, nor did the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party nominate him for the preferred position.
“In this context, I have been made aware of unfounded innuendoes to the effect that I have shown interest in the position of Cabinet Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration and, or, that the ODM Party has submitted my name for consideration in such a role,” Junet clarified.
“In any case, I have just recently assumed the leadership of the Minority Party in the National Assembly which is an equally very important constitutional office in our governance architecture,” he added.
Junet’s statement comes just two days after Majority Leader in the National Assembly Kimani Ichung’wah denied reports of seeking to replace Kithure Kindiki as Interior Secretary.
