They Were Planning to Plant Guns on My Son – Uhuru

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta claims police wanted to plant drugs and guns on his eldest son, Jomo Kenyatta on Friday.

Speaking to the media on Monday, the former president said the raid was just propaganda meant to hurt him.

“This gun issue is surrounded by lots of propaganda to divert attention from what has been happening. I believe they wanted to plant drugs and guns in my son’s compound” he said.

“I went because of a distress call from my son. I was not drunk, I was extremely hurt.

Uhuru further revealed that Jomo and his younger son, Muhoho, each have three firearms.

The guns, he said, are legally registered.

“My son Jomo has never been interested in weapons. He was forced to apply for a gun after his security was withdrawn,” Uhuru said, adding that his daughter, Ngina, is not a firearm holder.

On holding talks with President William Ruto, Kenya’s fourth president said he would be willing to have tête-à-tête with the former.

“On President Ruto, I can’t invite myself to talk with him but if he reaches to me he is my Prezzo (President) and I will go,” he added.

Should he get invited to State House, he said, he will use the opportunity to offer the head of state counsel.

“I went to Moi and Kibaki to seek advice,” Uhuru said.

He also denied financing the anti-government protests, saying that they were of no benefit to him.

“I am puzzled by claims that I am funding Azimio protests. For what benefit?” Uhuru posed.
