Viral Video Exposes Hired goons demanding for full payment as their political masters disappear after anti-gov’t protest.
In a now viral video, the men are seen expressly calling out leaders who they claim had turned their backs on them even after offering their ‘services’ during the demonstrations.
The alleged goons can be seen addressing politicians who they don’t name, saying that they were woken up early morning and given instructions to go to City Hall before being deployed across the city to infiltrate the demonstrations and cause mayhem.
Armed with a ‘rungu’, one of the men airs his grievances directly addressing his masters and demanding for pay.
Nilipigiwa simu asubui, twende hapo City Hall. Tulikuwa watu 50, na mavijana wenzangu. Wakatupatia hizi rungu. Mnatupatia kazi mpaka wengine wanapigwa tear gas…” he says, brandishing his ‘rungu’.
“Saa hii tunapiga na hizo simu zenyu hazishikwi. Na tushaaokolea jo. Tumeshaawalindia mali zao. Tunaenda mpaka huko Riverside. Mlipiga simu twende City Hall? Pesa yetu mtatupatia!”
The men go on with their lamentations, claiming that they had only been paid a fraction of the entire sum – a downpayment – and were now asking for the entire payment to be settled, or else.
“Yenye mlitupatia asubui ni downpayment. Hio ingine tunataka. Lazima mtatumalizia. Hatutaki hio ujinga!” they say
Tuesday’s protests were characterised by wanton looting, vandalism, hooliganism and thievery forcing many leaders and protesters to abandon the demonstrations as they called it out for its unlawful nature.
