My Life in Danger Miraa ban says “Miraa cartels will kill me, Munya says after being blamed for ban”

Meru Governor Peter Munya has said his life is in danger after he was blamed for a ban on miraa flights to Somalia.

A combative Mr Munya said miraa cartels are likely to “trail and kill him” after Somali Ambassador to Kenya Gamal Hassan said he was to blame for the ban that took effect on Tuesday.

The county boss who spoke at Mituntu Health Centre in Tigania West sub-county on Wednesday accused the Jubilee administration of colluding with the Somali envoy to lie to Kenyans that he was responsible for the impasse.

“The way my rivals are following me is not good, now they have put me into danger,” said Mr Munya.

“When you try to fight for miraa market they say you are responsible for the ban. A clear report has been given that the reason to ban the export of miraa for the time being is because of the Igad meeting that is taking place in Mogadishu.

“The ministry of Defence in Somalia put it clearly that the Al-Shabaab had planned to hit any plane seen in the Mogadishu air. Now has Munya become an Al-Shabaab?” posed the governor.
