Tanzanian President John Magufuli, South Sudan's Salva Kiir and other foreign powers are funding opposition chief Raila Odinga to destabilise Kenya, Starehe MP Maina Kamanda said yesterday.
"Raila has been touring all over. We know he is seeking funds from these governments with an intention of destabilising Kenya. You go ahead but we will not allow you," he said.
Kamanda spoke during a press conference at a Nairobi hotel. He was with Dagoretti South MP Dennis Waweru and Embakasi West's John Ndirangu.
The State on Monday, without naming countries, claimed there are individuals working with Kenya's neighbours to cause trouble in the country.
Government Spokesman Eric Kiraithe said intelligence reports point to some individuals who are working with the unnamed countries to ferment public unrest.
In what is likely to spark a diplomatic row between Kenya and the countries, Kiraithe spoke of a wider scheme to “create conditions of instability, insecurity, lawlessness and strife.”
He said the schemers are out to overthrow the government.
“The Government considers these contemptible undertakings to be a betrayal of Kenya and Kenyans. These are acts of treason,” Kiraithe said.
He said they will soon announce the investigation findings and unmask the persons at the centre of the scheme.
“In due course the government will be revealing the results of our investigations, and unmasking these despicable traitors,” he said.
Kiraithe said a National Security Advisory Council meeting held on Monday resolved that those who collaborate with Kenya's enemies are also enemies of the state.
“Their acts will be met with the swift, full and unmitigated wrath of the law. We urge public patience on this matter and promise to be uncompromising in our quest for national security,” he said.
Recently, the council claimed that Cord was planning a civilian coup and its demands for the replacement of the IEBC Commissioners was just a smokescreen.
However Cord co-principal leader Moses Wetang'ula dismissed the allegations as "juvenile" and challenged the state to use its machinery to substantiate the "wild claims".
The opposition has been at loggerheads with the government over the push for IEBC commissioners to quit office on grounds that the latter cannot be trusted with the management of the 2017 polls.
Poor Kamando and co, They are all as sick in the head as they come!
Silly praise singers and boot lickers to boot! For the Jubilee, the chickens have come home to roost; they are reeping the benefit of their grand corruption and managerial
incompetence; Hands off our JPM; he is busy redeeming our Tanganyika, Give him a break you thieving Gikuyus from the land of professional thieves and the bandit
economy. Man eat man society!
Raila kawa mpuzi kiivyo kweli!?inaweza kuwa kweli, sabab jpm ana intrest zake zakuchukua uchumi wa EA na Raila ana intrest za kuwa rais wa kenya... Hivyo hizi intrest zote zinaweza kufanikiwa kwa kum-fund raila avuruge hali ya hewa nchi kwake
you are our brothers ans sisters too...trust me no one will harrass you for being a tanzanian when in kenya.infact natafuta msichana wakizaramo nimuoeWe are more civilized than abusers when it comes to live with our relatives. We have been very helpful to those in need. Never ever shall Tanzania induce its brothers and sisters to fight. We count Kenyans as our close brothers regardless on what they count us.
Balls is a knee jack reaction to say the least! JPM doesnt need to do that to prove anything, he has his plate full of action, what needs to be accomplished in Kenya; the land of professional thieves ( prezos UK & Bob Mugabe) and a bandit economy (CJ Willy Mutunga) will be done by Kenyans themselves; imagine two parallel Madaraka day commemorations today june 1st 2016; what message do you get? Give our JPM a break you thieving Gikuyus!Political support by foreign countries is a known phenomenon. For instance, USA is always known to fund political parties in most of African countries.
But I doubt Salvar Kir or even Magufuli have the balls to fund and support coup in Kenya. This is far fetched, in my opinion.

We know Kenya has its own Magufuli, if Kenyans have balls and are men worth their salt, stop chickening and rubbery joints; give him the presidency and see fire!?!
Mk254 go and tell this your uncle Maina kamanda who talk nonsense .You guys are poor and can't afford to finance a coup in an economic giant like Kenya.
Deal first with the trail of so many mistakes being left behind every time Magu makes a decision.
