Goons barricade Southern Bypass ahead of Gachagua rally in Kikuyu
Goons barricade Southern Bypass ahead of Gachagua rally in Kikuyu
Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah has reacted to the security situation in Kikuyu after groups of suspected goons lit bonfires on section of the Southern Bypass.
On Saturday morning, images and amateur video clips surfaced showing tyres set ablaze on the road, causing major traffic disruptions.
Sources further reported that opportunistic gangs exploited the chaos to rob locals, both pedestrians and motorists caught in the gridlock.
All this happened in anticipation of a political rally organised by former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua.
Breaking his silence, the area MP assured the public that calm had been restored.
The MP claimed that the chaotic display was a deliberate creation of Gachagua to paint him (Ichung’wah) in bad light.

“To justify his fake allegations of self‑inflicted violence and desire for anarchy, they, this morning between 5:30 am and 6:00 am, attempted to blockade the Southern Bypass at Thogoto Kiamburi area, the PCEA entrance in Kikuyu, and Gitaru with trailers and bonfires,” he said.
The lawmaker vowed to engage the security officers to react to any potential security threat as Gachagua visits his area for a political rally.
He accused the former deputy president of putting an innocent public on the line as he pursues revenge against those he deemed traitors by virtue of having participated in his impeachment.
“The security team remains on high alert to quell any incidents of lawlessness. We shall NOT allow anarchy or disruption of business in our town and country to satisfy the thirst for bloodshed of a vile man out for revenge at the expense of the people,” he said.
