Suna East MP Junet Mohamed has broken silence amid reports that he has been fronted by ODM to replace Kithure Kindiki as Interior CS.

In a statement, Junet acknowledged President William Ruto’s effort in forming a government that conforms to the wishes of Kenyans but noted that he is not among those eyeing the Interior docket that will be left vacant once Kindiki assumes office as Deputy President.

“In this context, I have been made aware of unfounded innuendoes to the effect that I have shown interest in the position of Cabinet Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration and, or, that the ODM Party has submitted my name for consideration in such a role

“Whereas an opportunity to serve fellow Kenyans in any capacity is always welcome, I wish to inform the public that I am neither one of the people angling for the job nor has the ODM Party shown any interest in seeking to have another party expert join the government in that capacity,” the National Assembly minority leader said.

Junet added that he recently assumed leadership roles that are equally important.

“In any case, I have just recently assumed the leadership of the Minority Party in the National Assembly which is an equally very important constitutional office in our governance architecture. I do hope this clarification puts the matter to rest and allows the country to focus on more important concerns,” he stated.
