Many Kenyans are now expressing deep concern after new information surfaced about the UDA candidate for Mbeere North, Leonard Muriuki Muthende. The report claims that he is involved in a serious corruption case that has shocked the country.
The details shared have left many wondering how someone facing such allegations could be allowed to run for public office, especially at a time when citizens are demanding honesty and accountability from leaders.
The report reveals that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has linked Muthende to a massive scandal involving Kenyatta National Hospital.
According to the information released, he allegedly scammed the hospital 643 million shillings through an oxygen supply deal. This amount is extremely large, and the loss raises many questions about how such a transaction was approved and who else might have been involved.
Many Kenyans believe that stealing from a national hospital is one of the worst forms of corruption because it directly affects the lives of patients who depend on oxygen, medicine, and proper care.Another worrying detail is the claim that he changed his name to avoid arrest.
This makes many Kenyans feel that he was fully aware of the wrongdoing and was determined to stay ahead of investigators. The idea that a political candidate could hide behind a new identity just to escape justice has made the situation even more disturbing. It shows a level of planning and boldness that many associate with people who have no fear of the law.
The report also states that this development is bad news for President William Ruto, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, and other senior figures who are linked to the UDA political machinery. Having someone facing such allegations running under their party raises concerns about judgment and integrity within the ruling coalition.
If the EACC moves ahead with the arrest, it may cause political embarrassment and raise more questions about how candidates are selected.
What has angered many Kenyans is the claim that the government is supporting this candidate in the Mbeere North by-election despite the allegations.
People fear that if someone accused of stealing hundreds of millions from a national hospital is allowed to enter public office, he may end up with even more power and opportunity to misuse public money. The idea of giving such a person access to government resources has created a lot of frustration among voters.
