Koimburi who voted no to the Finance Bill in Parliament, pointed an accusing finger at his fellow Kiambu politicians who he did not name of issuing the threats and attempting to intimidate him.
Speaking at Nyacaba Secondary School, the MP further revealed that his political stand had led to him being sidelined in the Kenya Kwanza Coalition.
The Juja MP further alleged that his isolation and ostracization in Kenya Kwanza were a direct consequence of him allegedly exposing corrupt dealings revolving around passage of the controversial piece of legislation.
“Since I voted no to the finance bill, I began receiving threats from leaders, especially those we’ve been elected together in Kiambu. I shall not be intimidated. I will continue to speak the truth and unearth corrupt dealings in government. Do your worst, but I will continue to represent my people of Juja,” he said.
Koimburi and his Githunguri counterpart, Gathoni Wamuchomba were the only legislators in Kiambu who voted to shoot down the bill.
The legislator vowed to take up the matter with law enforcement agencies after he revealed being trailed by unknown individuals.
Additionally, during the same event, the legislator requested President William Ruto to strip off Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah his position as National Assembly Majority leader.
According to Koimburi, Ichung’wah and the Majority Chief Whip Sylvanus Osoro had failed the President as much as his Cabinet.
This comes after the MP on June 25, alleged that MPs were each offered Ksh2 million to vote in favour of passing the bill.
He alleged that the money set to be given to the MPs was being carried in sacks and if an MP voted yes, they received the funds.
However, he maintained that he declined to take up the cash, because he had a cardinal responsibility to his constituents
“I refused to sell the people who elected me. That’s why I voted no to reject that bill which I believe will harm Kenyans,” he added.
