How did the drama break out in Nyeri?
The incident started when Kiambu Senator Karungo Thang'wa addressed the residents of the area on Wednesday, December 4, after winning a whole day at the offices of DCI in Nyeri, where he had been called.
According to NTV, the police arrived at the scene to stop the political rally, but the angry crowd chased them away.
“I am from Kiambu, and we are in Nyeri. We do not understand why they called us here. Then, after we got here, they told us that we had to go back to Nairobi,” Karungo said.
The tension in the area caused some residents to sing anti-Ruto songs, expressing their dismay at the administration of Kenya First.
“You know we are the victims. But we will not fight with officers, they are lower officers who are carrying out their duties,” Karungo said.
Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba, Nyandarua senator John Methu, former Limuru MP Peter Mwathi, Juja MP George Koimburi, lawyer Ndegwa Njiru and other Mt Kenya leaders had accompanied the Kiambu senator.
Why did the DCI call Karungo?
The DCI summoned Senator Karungo for allegedly inciting chaos at the recent Limuru funeral, where Gachagua was present.
The DCI notice mentioned damage to property and injuries during the incident and asked the MP to help in the investigation
Thang'wa was ordered to appear before the criminal investigation officer in Nyeri on Friday, November 29, at 10 am, but he failed to do so and instead reported on Wednesday, December 4.
The senator took to Facebook to address the call, accusing authority to use intimidation tactics.
Thang'wa expressed his frustration at being called Nyeri for the incident that happened in Limuru.
