Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has broken her silence on the murder of Meru-based blogger Blogger Daniel Muthiani Bernard Alias Sniper. 

The county chief, speaking at her Meru church on Sunday, distanced herself from the blogger's heinous murder. 

The governor stated that any questions about her residence should be directed to the police officers who guard it.

“Governor’s residence inalindwa na askari na kama kunamtu wa kuuliza wa kwanza ni askari wa mchana na askari wa usiku maana wanakaa pale,” Kawira told congregants on Sunday. 

She also urged fairness in the blogger's death investigation and warned investigators against what she called political interference.

“Do not be biased na uchunguzi unapofanywa tunataka ufanywe kwa uwazi na mtu akishikwa tunaambiwa na kesi ikiendelea tunaambiwa ameshikwa kwa nini, na ushahidi ufuatiliwe we don’t live in a banana country tunaishi katika nchi iliyo na sheria,” she added.

Governor Kawira stated in her Sunday address that attempts to link her to the blogger's murder are a smear campaign and a political ploy, but her hands are clean.

“Wamejaribu impeachment wameshindwa, wamejaribu cases wameshindwa, wamejaribu kututoa uhai wameshindwa, wamekuja na ingine ya juzi na nataka kutangaza nikiwa bishop wenu maana mikono ya bishop wenu ni misafi, mikono ya bishop yenu misafi wanataka kuweka jina murder,” she said. 

At the same time, the governor stated that none of her children had been arrested as suspects and that she would present any of her relatives for questioning if necessary.
