Machakos Governor Denies Allegations of Smuggling Millions, UK Detainment
Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti has denied claims of being detained in the United Kingdom for attempting to smuggle millions of dollars into the European country from Kenya.
In a rebuttal on Monday, Wavinya stated that the claims are doctored to tarnish her image and are sponsored by her political rival.
“Those fabricating falsity are clearly ignorant of the robust nature of UK/Customs/Border control and financial institutions,” she said in a statement.
“I can confirm that my family and I are safe and sound and remain in good standing both home and abroad.”
The governor also stated that she will take legal action against those spreading false information, warning that any harm done to members of her family would be blamed on the suspects.

“Such malicious misinformation has created perceptions about me and my family members that endanger our lives,” she said.
“I encourage those spewing these fabrications to arm themselves with hard evidence when the law comes knocking.”
She insisted that attacks on her family would not jeopardize her efforts to transform Machakos County and improve the lives of its residents.
“My administration is closing in on nearly 1,000 projects from August 2022 and in FY 20232024 we collected Ksh.1.7B own source revenue which is the highest ever collected in Machakos since the inception of devolution.”
