Nyeri governor Mutahi Kahiga now says his statement in Laikipia on the MAA community was misquoted.
His political detractors are being used to put him on a collision course with the Maasai.
According to Governor Kahiga, his statement was taken out of context, insisting that the Maasai community had a clear place in the coalition alliance he was building with former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua.
Kahiga says his comments were taken out of context with his political opposers thriving on the matter
