A senior government agency employee accused of leaking President Uhuru Kenyatta’s intelligence briefs to the Deputy President William Ruto’s rival camp has allegedly been moved.
Reports indicate that the employee was suspected of being a mole in President Kenyatta’s camp.
He was accused of leaking the contents of high-sensitive meetings to digital strategist Dennis Itumbi who has been leaking them through the now famous Hustler Nation Intelligence Bureau (HNIB).
The leakages worried a top government institution that said last week it had identified a key suspect, the senior agency employee who is said to have daily direct contact with President Kenyatta.
After he was moved, all leaks of intelligence briefs to the amorphous outfit abruptly stopped, but it looks that they have resumed.
Itumbi has continued to ‘declassify’ the briefs, with the latest on his social media accounts being the events leading to the withdrawal of GSU officers manning DP Ruto’s Karen residence who were on Thursday August 26 replaced by AP officers.
On Friday morning, Itumbi claimed that there is a Jubilee party parliamentary group meeting going on at State House, which is aimed at removing DP Ruto as Jubilee party deputy party leader.
Itumbi alleges that the plan is also to roll out anti-Ruto campaigns in Mt. Kenya. According to him, Uhuru allies from the region will be asked to start marketing ODM leader Raila Odinga in their region.
But who is now leaking these intelligence briefs to the rival camp now that the alleged mole was moved?
The leakages of the briefs started when President Kenyatta started meeting the former Prime Minister and Okoa Kenya Alliance (OKA) co-principals for a possible coalition ahead of 2022.
When President Kenyatta met Raila alongside ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Ford Kenya’s Moses Wetang’ula, Kanu’s Gideon Moi and Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya in Mombasa about two weeks ago, Itumbi leaked the details of the meeting to the public, through his Facebook account.
Last week, Dailytrends.co.ke reported to you that a mole within Uhuru’s camp had been exposed for allegedly leaking the briefs.
He was accused of leaking the contents of high-level and sensitive meetings to an operative of the opposing camp.
A senior senator two weeks ago gave the alleged mole a dress-down and complained that when President Kenyatta and ODM boss met alone early this month, there was no leakage.
But when the leader was privy to the deliberations of the delegation that met the President in Mombasa, all the details and speculation spilt out.
The senator told the leader to his face that he was holding brief for their opponents and that the time had come to blow his cover.
But do you think the real mole has really been identified by Uhuru’s camp now that the leakages are still on?
