Maina Njenga Breaks silence; Condemns arrest and Harassment of Innocent Kikuyu Youths.
Maina Njenga Breaks Silence: Former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga has condemned the government for harassing and arresting innocent Kikuyu youths who were reportedly attending a rally held by a section of Mt. Kenya leaders in Kabiru-Ini, Nyeri County.
Maina Clarified that there was no meeting scheduled as no notice had been issued to members of the public and the youth arrested were going about their businesses in preparation for the New Year.
He pointed fingers at the deputy president saying he is the one criminalizing and labelling innocent youth, as members of the outlawed Mungiki sect.
He stated,”It bothers me that a Kikuyu leader is using the State machinery to criminalise the same people who supported him during the 2022 general election. By labelling our innocent youths as members of Mungiki, Mr Rigathi is not only setting them up against the notorious police brutality, but he is also setting up the entire community for extinction,”
“When did the jobless, hopeless and disgruntled hustlers become Mungiki? Kweli asante ya punda ni mateke. Let the regime of the day stop, cease and desist from criminalising innocent Kikuyu youths, and embark on addressing the underlying problem of the skyrocketing cost of living,” he added.
Njenga urged the government to focus on important matters such as the high cost of living instead of terrorizing innocent Kikuyu youths.
“We urge the police or those who have arrested innocent youths to release them immediately. If the arrested youths will not be released on bail or bond by the police pending their arraignment in court, we urge the state to observe the 24-hour rule,” Maina Njenga stated.
