Suna East Member of Parliament has been accused of mismanaging campaign money that was issued by former president Uhuru Kenyatta towards the late Raila Odinga presidential bid in the 2022 general elections.
According to Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna,a large portion of campaign funds used by the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party came from Uhuru kenyatta, who supported them in every possible way. However, the senator blamed the Suna East legislator of chaneling the money to his personal use.
Sifuna sentiments came as a defense towards Former president Uhuru Kenyatta who is under insults from a section of ODM members. Speaking during the burial of Cyrus Jirongo in Kakamega county, Sifuna who is also the ODM secretary General apologized to Uhuru regretting the unfortunate insults towards him from a section of the ODM leaders whom he branded as fools who had forgotten Uhuru’s substantial support for Raila Odinga’s presidential campaigns.
Junet however has rubbished the accusation saying Uhuru Kenyatta released funds meant for election agents to his brother Muhoho Kenyatta, who then appointed Peter Mburu to oversee recruitment and payment of agents.
“Former President Uhuru Kenyatta released the funds meant for election agents to his blood brother, Muhoho Kenyatta.
Muhoho Kenyatta then appointed one Mr. Peter Mburu to take charge of the recruitment and payment of agents.
Mr. Mburu presented himself as an IT expert, claiming he had the capacity to detect and prevent any manipulation of results by the IEBC.”
The legislator who is also the national assembly minority leader alleged that Muhoho operated from a highly restricted office in Westlands that was inaccessible even to Raila Odinga.
“Muhoho Kenyatta operated from an office in Westlands that was so restricted that even Raila Odinga, the party’s presidential candidate, could not access it freely.
It is from this office — out of bounds for nearly all of us — that they claimed to handle the agents payments and other logistics.”
Junet says no agents were procured for Raila in Mt Kenya or Luo Nyanza regions and went on to challenge Uhuru, Muhoho, Mburu, and Sifuna to publicly account for the agents’ funds.
“Let the record also be set straight: Hon. Raila Odinga would have had no reason whatsoever to appoint me — Hon. Junet Mohammed — as the Leader of Minority in the National Assembly if I had truly betrayed him.
For years, I handled all the delicate assignments from our late dear Party Leader with fidelity and diligence.
I now call upon Uhuru Kenyatta, Muhoho Kenyatta, Peter Mburu, and Senator Edwin Sifuna to come clean.
Kenyans deserve the truth about the handling of agents’ money; who controlled it, who mishandled it, and then decide who cost us the election.”
This public disagreement has exposed deep divisions within ODM over the handling of 2022 campaign funds and the party’s relationship with the former president.
On 28th December 2025, while addressing a gathering in Homa Bay County attended by President Ruto, Governor Gladys Wanga accused Uhuru of using party insiders to create divisions within ODM. She went on to warn Uhuru of dire consequences over the matter.
