A certain political party is financing the outlawed Mungiki sect, Narc presidential candidate Mwai Kibaki said yesterday.
He said the party, which he did not name, had bought senior officials of the sect vehicles and rented them houses in plush neighbourhoods in Nairobi.
"This party has been collaborating with Mungiki bosses, buying them cars, employing drivers and aides for them and housing them in posh suburbs of Nairobi," Mr Kibaki said.
He was responding to questions from journalists during a press conference in his Muthaiga home in Nairobi.
The Mungiki sect was outlawed earlier this year by the Commissioner of Police but has been active on the political front.
Elsewhere, the Laikipia West parliamentary candidate on a Safina ticket, Ms Alice Wachihi, appealed to police to check the sect's activities.
Ms Wachihi said: "Most people are concerned about Mungiki's activities. They have caused fear, especially among women voters. It may affect the turnout at the elections and the police should investigate this."
The candidate, faces Mr Ndegwa Muruthi (Kanu) and veteran politician Mr G.G Kariuki (Narc).
Ms Wachihi said she supported Mr Kibaki for the presidential seat.
