Methu was speaking during a rally in Kitui attended by several opposition leaders. In his speech, he told supporters that he would like to take charge of the Interior ministry so he can deal with people he claims have been troubling opposition members.
The senator said the opposition has faced pressure and unfair treatment, and that this must change if they form the next government.
His remarks were met with loud cheers from the crowd, with many supporters showing excitement about the possibility of a new leadership.
The rally in Kitui is part of ongoing efforts by opposition leaders to build support across the country ahead of the 2027 elections.
Leaders have been moving from one region to another, urging Kenyans to unite and back their agenda.
However, Methu’s comments have also raised concerns among some observers. Critics say leaders should be careful with their words, especially when talking about powerful positions like the Interior ministry, which is in charge of security.
They warn that such statements may appear as if leaders want to use power to settle scores.
Despite this, Methu stood by his remarks, saying he was speaking on behalf of many Kenyans who feel frustrated.
As the country slowly moves towards the next election, statements like these show how political competition is beginning to heat up.
