🚨ALERT: The other day, I warned here that the state was allegedly using goons in vehicles with cloned number plates, or no number plates at all. ​Yesterday, NTV aired one of the most chilling documentaries on the Ol Kalou by-election. ​It explicitly shows at least three Toyota Prados with no number plates, alongside another SUV, moving around as occupants allegedly handed out cash to voters, despite the IEBC claiming there was no voter bribery. ​But that's not even the most disturbing part. ​The occupants, believed to be police officers or senior state operatives, were captured on camera wearing balaclavas, carrying firearms and handcuffs, and allegedly attacking the DCP convoy. One truck driver was reportedly nearly killed. The exact same vehicles were also seen escorting the UDA candidate. ​These people were operating with extraordinary impunity, masked, armed, and using unmarked vehicles while actively intimidating citizens. ​But remember, CS Murkomen has been moving around a lot lately telling us that Gachagua was the one sponsoring goons in this country. Yet, looking closely at Ol Kalou, it appears it’s the government itself doing exactly that. I guess that explains why none of them are being arrested. ​If you haven't watched that NTV documentary yet, please do yourself a favor and watch it immediately. ​I said it before, and I will say it again: we are entering incredibly dangerous territory under this Ruto administration. A country where masked, armed men in unmarked vehicles can allegedly harass, abduct, and intimidate citizens with state protection is a country every single Kenyan should be deeply terrified of. ​This government MUST go in 2027. They simply must.

There is a troubling new brand of politics taking root in the Mountain. Intimidation, threats and fear. Last night, I had to help evacuate TWENTY UDA mobilizers from Rurii, Ol Kalou. They were so shaken that their only request was to spend the night at a police station, believing it was the only place they would be safe. I have since arranged and paid for hotel accommodation for them, where they remain as they await calm. This is not who we are. No Kenyan should live in fear because of their political beliefs. Democracy thrives on persuasion, not intimidation, on ideas, not threats. I urge the Police Service to move swiftly against those instigating violence, issuing threats, or terrorizing fellow citizens. The law must protect every Kenyan equally. Elections should never turn neighbours into enemies. We can compete fiercely at the ballot, shake hands afterwards, and continue building our communities together. Hii siasa ya vitisho na kuuza uoga tuachane nayo. We beat Jofri in other by-elections we embraced those who lost, why should anyone be chased because they disagreed and lost on the ballot? Apana.
