How 2 MPs Ex-Kiambu Governor executed invasion on Uhuru's land

Invasion of Uhuru’s Land (Northlands) was planned by 2 MPS, an Ex-Kiambu Governor, popular Kikuyu singer according to a report by Daily Nation.

According to reports, the group took lead roles in mobilizing a gang from various parts of Nairobi estates and hatched the plot to invade the former head of state’s property as a counter to the ongoing Opposition’s anti-regime protests.

Some of the gang members who spoke to the Nation revealed they were each paid KSh 3,000 to invade and destroy the land in Kamakis.

They were dropped in the area by buses and asked to destroy the land as much as they could.

According to Nation, plans to raid the Kenyatta property were mooted last Friday and firmed up by Sunday evening.

The goons were ferried from Ruiru, Githurai 45, and Gatundu South in Kiambu as well as Ruai, Kayole, and Mathare in Nairobi.

“They are youths known to belong to a criminal formation going by several names but coalescing around doctrines of the proscribed Mungiki sect. They are always on standby to be recruited in real estate conflicts where several developers have an interest in one plot. Those are the characters our good friends in politics hired for the raid,” said a senior intelligence officer in Kiambu County.

He said the intelligence was shared within relevant security circles. But no action or directive was issued until Monday when the invasion began.

Local security officials claimed they were instructed not to respond. Sub-county police bosses were instructed to keep reinforcements on standby to tackle rioters in Nairobi.

“We could not act because our boss firmly told us to put our officers on standby for deployment in Nairobi and that we should not send our team to any other area,” a senior detective in one of the Kiambu sub-counties.

“You saw what happened yesterday and I can tell you if we dared to go against the directive from our seniors we would be jobless or transferred today,” another detective said.

Another security officer added: “The management of Northlands tried to call us but we could not act. The government has held us hostage and unfortunately, we couldn’t act. It is unfortunate we are being misused.”
