Jubilee Government Was Formed in This House: Jimmy Wanjigi Speaks after Police Raid On His Home
Businessman Jimmy Wanjigi finally resurfaced in public on Wednesday after disappearing for two days following the raid by police on his palatial home in Nairobi's Muthaiga estate.
Wanjigi, who had locked himself up in a bunker since Monday, came out of his house in company of National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga and other opposition leaders.
Addressing the media at his Muthaiga home on Wednesday morning, the billionaire described the raid on his house as an “absolute persecution and an unjustified siege his family need not to have gone through.”
Wanjigi said that he was innocent and thanked Raila for coming to the rescue of his family.
“Were it not for Raila, I don’t know where my family would be right now,” Wanjigi said in the press address called by opposition leaders.
Wanjigi said that it was sad that the government was harassing him, when actually it (Jubilee government) was formed in the very house it was raiding.
“This is not a strange home and they have come here several times {Uhuru and William Ruto}. In fact, their government was formed here,” said Wanjigi.
Speaking at the same media briefing, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga condemned the raid on Wanjigi home, saying that it was sad that police continued with the siege even after Wanjigi obtained a court order barring the search on his home.
In a statement on Tuesday, government spokesman Eric Kiraithe denied claims that the raud was politically instigated, saying it was a crackdown on a “nefarious criminal”.
“The police are doing a very simple task, which is not politically motivated. The raid on Wanjigi’s home means we have a nefarious criminal in our midst, who has been uncovered, period,” said Kiraithe.

This is political witch-hunt. Moi era is back with vengeance! An attempt to unclamp the grip of a hegemonic elite that has captured the political state of affairs. People will continue to disappear just like Ouko and Msando unless something drastic happen.

Ano. Rubbish! How Much Did Mwai Kibaki Pay Raila for Raila to say "Kibaki Tosha"? How much Dowry was Raila Paid for His Son to Have a Kikuyu Wife? In other Words: Did Kibaki or Raila's Kikuyu In-Laws Pay for Raila's Campaign? Ok. Thii na Wega! Bye!!!
