He accused unnamed forces of engineering his exit from cabinet over his stand on the building bridges initiative.
He lamented that he had been treated unfairly for highlighting issues affecting Mt Kenya.
“The Opposition has been insulting the President but they were finally forgiven. But when Kiunjuri or Moses Kuria speak about the problems in Mt Kenya, we are accused of insulting the President“ he said said.
He vowed to continue speaking his mind on matters touching on ordinary Kenyans, adding that he was not afraid of any form of intimidation.
