The incident, which occurred at the height of political tensions ahead of the 2022 General Election, highlights the intensity of shifting allegiances during that period.
In an emotional recount, Waluke revealed that he was picked up at midnight and taken to State House, where he came face to face with Uhuru. According to the MP, the meeting quickly turned intimidating, forcing him into a position of submission.
“I was on my knees for 30 minutes, begging for forgiveness,” Waluke said, describing the ordeal as one of the most embarrassing moments of his political life.
The MP explained that the confrontation was linked to political maneuvers within his party at the time. Allegiances were shifting rapidly, and Waluke admits he found himself on the wrong side of Uhuru’s inner circle.
The meeting, he said, was meant to be both a warning and a chance for reconciliation, leaving him anxious and exposed.
Political analysts note that Waluke’s story underscores the pressures politicians face in Kenya’s competitive political landscape, where loyalty and timing can dramatically affect careers.
It also serves as a reminder of the behind-the-scenes negotiations that often shape public political decisions.
Waluke’s account has sparked discussion on social media, with many Kenyans expressing sympathy and others reflecting on the complex dynamics of political survival.
Videos of the interview have circulated widely, showing the MP narrating the experience in his own words.
