Nyandarua senator John Methu has expressed pride in his controversial remarks directed at President William Ruto during a funeral, stating he would repeat them if given the opportunity. Methu clarified that his comments were not meant to disrespect the head of state but to fulfill his oversight role as an elected leader. He highlighted stalled development projects and unfulfilled promises in Nyandarua county, including an incomplete road linking Njambini to Gatura. Methu emphasized his constitutional duty to hold the executive accountable and ensure promises to his constituents are met, stating, "I respect you but do not fear you." His remarks have drawn criticism from some of the president's political allies, who accused him of disrespect and suggested he apologize. However, Methu maintains that leaders must be willing to speak out without fear to serve the people effectively.
