Murang’a Governor Irungu Kang’ata has dismissed claims that former President Uhuru Kenyatta is financially sponsoring emerging political movements, insisting that his involvement is limited to offering moral support.
Speaking during a television interview on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, Kang’ata was asked about Uhuru’s alleged influence in emerging political formations, with critics frequently portraying the former Head of State as a financial backer.
Kang’ata maintained that Uhuru’s contribution was limited to encouragement rather than financial assistance.
“Moral support, but nothing more,” he responded.
When pressed on whether the former President provides money to political movements, the governor categorically denied the claims.
Asked directly whether Uhuru makes any financial contributions, Kang’ata answered: “No.”

Kang’ata maintained that the political formation was driven by issues rather than financial contributions from influential individuals.
“This is a movement about issues,” he added.
His remarks come amid growing public debate about the political figures and financial interests allegedly supporting emerging opposition movements.

Amisi maintained that the movement was not affiliated with the former President and had previously identified himself as its founder.
His remarks sought to distance the political formation from claims that it was operating under Uhuru’s influence.
