Speaking on Friday, January 3, Natembeya said the attacks against him were baseless and aimed at distracting attention from the plight of families suffering due to extrajudicial abductions.
“I want Kenyans to understand why I am being insulted by some political leaders.
It is because I had the courage to tell the President to end abductions and release the youths who are missing,” Natembeya stated.
The governor, who previously served as a Regional Commissioner, dismissed accusations of his involvement in abductions or killings during his tenure.
He described the allegations as unfounded, adding that he had always served with integrity and dedication.
“Some leaders have gone as far as calling me a murderer and an abductor. Let it be clear that I served this country diligently and with an unblemished record.
I resigned as Regional Commissioner without any scandal attached to my name,” he said.
Natembeya expressed his concern for the families of the abducted youths, highlighting the emotional and psychological trauma they endure.
“Imagine a family sitting down to eat, but they cannot enjoy even a glass of water because they don’t know where their son is.
These families are living in agony while some leaders make a mockery of their pain,” Natembeya said.
He criticized his political rivals for using the issue of abductions to score points instead of addressing the root causes of the problem.
“These leaders are busy making frivolous allegations instead of focusing on helping Kenyans. It is unfortunate,” he added.
The governor also clashed with Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah during a funeral in Bungoma.
Ichung’wah accused Natembeya of inciting the public and asked him to provide any information he had to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
Natembeya responded by reaffirming his commitment to justice. “My message to the President is clear end these abductions.
