Trade and Industrialization Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya has denied reports that President Uhuru Kenyatta had called for a stop to the La Mada Hotel meetings.
The Nation quoted CS Munya who claimed the meetings had intensified and even devolved to counties.
Munya termed the allegations of President Kenyatta banning the meetings as lies and fabrication of the truth.
"In fact, we were to meet yesterday (Wednesday) but we had other engagements. We are to meet again next week," Munya said.

“No one has talked to us. The legal process is very specific for investigations. The complaint must be formal and recorded on Occurrence Book,” CS Munya stated.
He reiterated his denial that the meetings were meant to harm Dr Ruto or stifle his 2022 ambitions stating they are “to push for speedy implementation of development projects in Mt Kenya region.”
