Githunguri Member of Parliament Gathoni Wamuchomba has accused a former politician from the area of orchestrating a violent disruption during an official event over the weekend.
The incident occurred on Sunday morning during the commissioning of the tarmacking of the Kiagi-Gitombo-Gituamba link road. According to Wamuchomba, a group of goons was transported from an informal settlement in Nairobi to interfere with the event.
“The disruption was supervised by a former politician who was present with machete-wielding goons who were repulsed by locals and the police. Sadly, the politician is a serving public servant who is enjoying protection from some quarters and had the audacity to physically escort the goons,” she stated in a Facebook post.
Wamuchomba further alleged that the same individual had recently issued threats against some of her staff members. Despite lodging a formal complaint, she said no investigations had been initiated.
She urged law enforcement authorities to act swiftly and bring those responsible to justice. “Impunity must come to an end, and anarchy is unacceptable,” she said.
The outspoken legislator, who has emerged as a fierce critic of the current administration, has recently shifted her political allegiance toward former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s camp after months of ambiguous political signaling.
