Mwenda Thuranira Vows to Fight Corruption as He Distances Himself from Governor Guyo

Mwenda Thuranira, the businessman-turned-politician with growing influence in Isiolo politics, has spoken out strongly after fake posters surfaced online linking him with Governor Abdi Hassan Guyo.

In a statement addressed to Isiolo residents, Thuranira dismissed the posters as “malicious fabrications” designed to cause confusion and weaken the resolve of people who are pushing for change in the county.

He made it clear that his political allegiance is not tied to any individual or coalition but to the citizens of Isiolo, whom he described as the foundation of his vision for leadership.

“My loyalty is not to any tribe, clan, individual, or coalition of individuals. My loyalty is to the dream we share of building a county rooted in fairness, justice, and true service to the people,” Thuranira affirmed.

He accused past and current leadership of betraying Isiolo residents by pursuing self-enrichment at the expense of service delivery.

The circulation of fake posters, he argued, reflects growing fear among opponents of his reform-driven agenda.

Standing Firm Against “Rotten Systems”

Thuranira vowed never to align himself with what he termed “rotten systems” that perpetuate corruption, incompetence, and disregard for the will of Isiolo residents. Instead, he assured his supporters that he remains committed to ending the cycle of poor governance.

“These fake posters are simply signs of fear—fear of a people who are waking up, organizing, and demanding real change. They cannot stop our momentum. They cannot silence our unity,” he said.

His message to Isiolo residents was one of reassurance and resilience, urging them to remain steadfast in the fight for accountability and transparency in county leadership.

Looking Ahead
