Pauline Njoroge Breaks Silence on Claims She’s Ferrying Uhuru Kenyatta’s Cash to Fund Linda Mwananchi
Jubilee Party Deputy Organising Secretary Pauline Njoroge has strongly dismissed allegations that she has been acting as a conduit for funds from former President Uhuru Kenyatta to bankroll the Edwin Sifuna-led Linda Mwananchi movement, branding the claims as politically motivated propaganda.
Njoroge addressed the allegations during an interview with political analyst Herman Manyora on the evening of Friday, July 10, 2026, saying the narrative was being deliberately pushed by political rivals seeking to undermine the growing opposition movement ahead of the 2027 General Election.
According to Njoroge, the claims form part of a broader campaign aimed at portraying retired President Uhuru Kenyatta as the financial force behind Linda Mwananchi, a perception she insisted was intended to weaken the movement’s credibility in the eyes of Kenyans.
“In politics, people create all sorts of propaganda and start pushing it until it starts looking like a reality. In politics, perception is almost everything,” Njoroge said.
She argued that once a political narrative is repeated often enough, some members of the public begin accepting it as fact regardless of whether any evidence exists to support it.
The Jubilee official maintained that linking Uhuru to the financing of Linda Mwananchi was a calculated strategy by opponents who fear the opposition’s increasing influence and are keen to shift public attention from the issues the movement has been raising.
Her remarks come amid growing speculation over the sources of funding for opposition activities as political formations intensify ahead of the 2027 presidential race.
Linda Mwananchi has recently gained momentum through rallies and public engagements led by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and other opposition leaders, fuelling political debate over the coalition’s organisation, financing and future electoral plans.
Njoroge, however, insisted that the allegations should be viewed as part of the usual political tactics employed during highly charged electoral seasons, urging Kenyans to separate propaganda from verified facts.
Her comments are likely to further fuel debate over the financing of opposition politics as parties continue positioning themselves for what is expected to be a fiercely contested 2027 General Election.
