Senator Methu of Nyandarua has denied receiving money from former President Uhuru Kenyatta, rejecting allegations that link the retired leader to opposition activities. Speaking on a local radio station on October 11, 2026, Methu stated that neither he nor his party leader had received any financial support from Kenyatta.

Methu dismissed claims that Kenyatta was involved in opposition activities, calling them unfounded. He also rejected the use of the nickname “Sponyo” by President William Ruto, which has been associated with Kenyatta. Methu emphasized that the allegations were part of a broader political strategy to undermine his party.

The controversy comes amid heightened political tensions in Kenya. Kenyatta, who previously held the presidency, has been a prominent figure in national politics. His relationship with current leaders remains a topic of public debate. Methu’s denial adds to the ongoing discourse about financial influences in Kenyan politics.

The situation highlights the complex dynamics between former and current leaders in Kenya. Methu’s public response underscores the challenges of maintaining political neutrality in a highly polarized environment. As the political landscape continues to evolve, such denials and accusations remain central to the ongoing narrative.
