Speaking on Thursday, September 18, Wamuchomba clarified that her visit was a personal act of compassion, noting that Ichung’wah’s elder sister is her longtime friend and supporter. She dismissed online allegations suggesting that Ichung’wah had accused her of leaking opposition secrets to government allies.
“Hon Kimani made a speech in my presence and never mentioned what a section of media is reporting. I challenged them to produce a clip as evidence, but none has surfaced, though some have since apologized,” said the legislator.
Wamuchomba lamented being branded a traitor for extending condolences, describing it as political bullying meant to silence her. She maintained that she has not betrayed her supporters and vowed not to bow to intimidation or tribal politics.
“I will not be intimidated to support or join anyone I don’t believe in. I will not praise a failed system or cheer selfish political patrons. I take this as political bullying, but I refuse to surrender my dreams to negative noises,” she added.
The Githunguri MP affirmed her resolve to continue speaking boldly on national issues. “I will continue to write history in this country. I am the woman for the job,” she declared.
Mzee Isaac Ichung’wah Ngugi passed away peacefully at the age of 105 at his Mayaihii home in Kikuyu, Kiambu County, on September 4. He was laid to rest on September 15 in a ceremony attended by President William Ruto, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi, and other top leaders.
Wamuchomba had joined mourners at the Ichung’wah home on September 13, insisting her visit was purely to offer prayers and comfort to the family, regardless of political differences.
