Kenol Violence: Police Chief Orders Arrest of MPs Ndindi Nyoro and Alice Wahome

Kenol Violence: Police Chief Orders Arrest of MPs Ndindi Nyoro and Alice Wahome

Inspector-General of Police Hillary Mutyambai has ordered the arrest of Kandara MP Alice Wahome and his Kiharu counterpart Ndindi Nyoro over Murang’a chaos.

The two are accused of mobilizing goons who caused the violence that led to the death of two people in Kenol town on Sunday morning. Several other people were injured in the mayhem.

“The @IG_NPS has directed that Members of Parliament (MPs) Hon.Ndindi Nyoro and Hon.Alice Wahome to be tracked and arrested immediately for mobilizing goons who caused mayhem at Kenol this morning,” the National Police Service said in a tweet.

“Officers are also tracking down vehicles used to ferry youths who caused violence.” 

The arrest order came hours after Mutyambai formed a taskforce consisting of the Director of Internal Affairs Unit (IAU) and two senior Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers to probe the incident and bring the perpetrators to book.

The ugly fracas erupted ahead of Deputy President William Ruto’s visit to the area for a fundraiser at Kenol AIPCA Church.

The clash involved a group of youths supporting President Kenyatta against another that backs DP Ruto. Police officers were forced to use tear gas to disperse the rowdy youths.

    Look the two crooks up! They are not worth much to any body!

    Ruto is behind the entire fracas episode. He should be arrested and be looked up!

    Hata sasa makamu wa rais hajatambua ya kwamba dini hii anayofuata ni dini bandia iliyotumiwa na wakoloni kuchafua akili ya Wafrika, kuwauza Wafrka kama kama watumwa, kuyanyakua mashamba ya wananchi, huku ikiwadanganya wananchi ya kwamba watapata maisha bora mbinguni baada ya kufa!

    I am surprised to see that, the vice president has not yet realized that, the fake religion that be belongs to was used by colonialists to hack the Africans brains, capturing and selling them as slaves, grabbing their ancestral lands, meanwhile lying to them about getting a better life in heaven after death!

    Catch & release strategy as usual by the police. The MPs will walk free after their arrest.

    Ruto again stirring up violence. He has not stopped. He will be a disaster for kenya if he becomes president.

    Its a pity that "Siatina" Chege can pay poor youths from Kiandutu Village in Thika to stage mayhem in Murang'a. Her and others the like of Matiang'i must know that come 2022,they will be held to account.

    Like Muigai WaNjoroge said, the Hustler Nation from Mt Kenya must resist the temptation of being used by the Rich and corrupt in the Govt.

    Ndindi and Alice are the heroes here and they are very innocent! They are true and patriotic Leaders who champions for the empowerment of ordinary Kenyans whose future has long been robbed and raped by the Dynasty goons.

    One day, Justice will prevail in Kenya and those who have caused pain and suffering to fellow Kenyans will be held to account!

    Latest reports from Thika say that waIria,Murathe and Kamanda recruited the goons on Friday evening with advance payment of shs 1000 each.They were to be paid the other shs 1000 after their duty.It should be remembered how Kamanda used his workers and vehicles to distribute poisonous food to Gikambura residents two months ago.Investigations on this incident were shelved on Uhuru's orders.Ata hii itaisa HIVO HIVO.

    Rutto is our next prezzo, arrest Dindi and Wahome for what. Its out there, weknow who hired coons to disrupt the church function. Stop blaming Ruto, Uhunye is the chief of corruption. Covid money was looted by his croonies and he looked the other way.

  9. OmoshOct 6, 2020

    Such a shame if what’s been reported that Sabina chege used monies from office of the president to Hire goons is true. I believe it to be true because they have not denied publicly. The goons also admitted they were ferried from thika and kiandutu... the president must condemn such violence.. anyway it’s early for political rallies we have a lot to think about., What happened to the cases of corruption against Deputy CJ Mwilu., murder by obado, kidero., Tuju, waiguru., Murathe , Covid millionaires etc all president’s confidants... Only reason which makes Ruto look like a saint
