Advocate of the High Court Ndegwa Njiru has described former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i’s return to politics as a state-sponsored "project to divide the opposition." Speaking on Spice FM, Njiru warned that Matiang’i’s re-entry is designed to disrupt opposition unity.

• Ndegwa Njiru criticized Matiang'i for neglecting his home constituency politics in favor of focusing on Mt Kenya.
• Njiru also highlighted Matiang’i’s departure from Kenya during investigations into the Ruaraka land saga, stating he "ran away when there was an attempt to arrest him."
• The opposition is undergoing internal realignments, with a team of six, including presidential aspirants Martha Karua, Kalonzo Musyoka, Justin Muturi, Eugene Wamalwa, Rigathi Gachagua, and Fred Matiang’i, yet to select a flagbearer.
