Muranga Governor Mwangi Wa Iria speaks to journalists at Integrity Centre on April 1, 2015 after he was released on bond. Mr Iria who had been arrested in Murng'a said he read politics in his arrest but EACC officers said he gave misleading information on pre-election declaration documents. Muranga Governor Mwangi wa Iria has accused his political opponents of being behind his arrest on Wednesday by anti-corruption officers. The governor was picked up over allegations that he gave misleading information in his pre-election declaration forms. He said he was shocked to be told he had erred when filling in the declaration forms. I walked into the Integrity Centre and recorded a statement and later walked out and I urge the anti-corruption commission to stop propagating lies and tell the public the truth of the matter, he said. He was addressing hundreds of residents of Muranga Town after returning from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission offices in Nairobi. SET UP BY RIVALS The governor claimed he had been set up by his rivals, who, were out to taint his image before the 2017 General Election. I just want to tell all my opponents that there will be no by-election in Muranga, if that is what they were hoping for. The war against corruption should not be politicised, he said Deputy Governor Gakure Monyo said Mr Irias arrest was embarrassing to the county. Although the issues facing the governor are personal, they do not augur well for the running of the county. But we will not allow this to taint the image of the county. He claimed there were people out to ruin the governors reputation. SOURCE: globalnewztz blog County boss reads politics into his arrest | UDAKU SPECIAL
