Ex-Mungiki leader and Maina Njenga’s cousin Ndura Waruinge has warned Maina Njenga after the botched Nyeri meeting that saw the arrest of over two hundred youths in the town.
Waruinge, a reformed Mungiki leader who is now a pastor has told Maina Njenga to stop any idea that will destabilise the peace in this country and desist from any acts of violence that may cause bloodshed.
“Maina Njenga is my cousin; he is my former colleague in Mungiki but I just want to ask him to tone down. Kenya needs everybody; we need each other. Don’t ever do anything that can cause chaos today in the country, Kenya belongs to everyone, even if you do not like the president. We are all Kenyans.”

This comes after Maina Njenga allegedly called Mungiki youths for a meeting in Nyeri town at the Kabirini grounds. However, police thwarted plans by arresting and boosting security in the area to prevent such a meeting from happening.
According to the Ex Mungiki leader Waruinge, Kenya cannot afford to slip backwards from the gains it has realised over the years in terms of peace and unity thus urgin his Former partner whom they formed the sect with to desist from any violent plans.
However, Maina Njenga has mantained that the meeting was aimed at charting the way forward for the residents of the vote-rich region, something that did not sit right with the government, especially Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
