EXCLUSIVE: A secretive political network is allegedly arming militias and plotting ethnic conflict to cling to power in 2027. Kenya is sitting on a ticking time bomb.
This story reads like a spy thriller, but one is shaken to reality by the mention of names of prominent Kenyan leaders, familiar places, and references to deadly weapons. One might be tempted to think it's just a bad dream that will fade by morning. But it's not.
This is a crimson red flag that Kenyans and the country’s global allies must not ignore. A group of seemingly harmless yet highly influential leaders and their backers are allegedly determined to retain political power by any means necessary, both now and in the 2027 election.
Concerned by credible anonymous claims of covert political mobilization, a few patriotic Kenyans have reportedly uncovered disturbing details about a secretive, well-connected network allegedly working behind the scenes to manipulate the outcome of the August 2027 polls.
Sources claim the group ramped up activity from the beginning of June 2024 and hatched an elaborate extrajudicial plan to influence voting patterns in certain regions and suppress the Mt. Kenya community, particularly the Kikuyu. The inclusion of the Kamba community in the GEMA cultural association in November 2024 allegedly placed them under the radar of this network. GEMA, which brings together Kikuyu, Embu, Meru, and Akamba.
This is my fifth post highlighting the rising violence and political gangs in Kenya. But today, I write out of concern that many still view this crisis as simply “politics gone too far.” It is not. Lives have been lost. Businesses looted and burned. Police have been caught on camera fraternizing with politically protected gangs. Alarmingly, the government has claimed it “knows the perpetrators” but has failed to act. MP William Kamket was captured on video inciting youth to travel to Nairobi and attack peaceful protesters. This is not politics. It is organized, state-sponsored violence.
I must clarify that I do not publish for clout. I rely on extensive research and credible anonymized sources. My work has, helped pre-empt dangerous state-linked deals, such as the now-cancelled Adani deals, which could have handed over our airport and energy to foreign and domestic interests working against Kenya’s public good.
Notably, none of my previous four posts on tribal and criminal political organization in Kenya attracted any formal response from the government. Yet, following the last post, Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen issued a public statement about politicians buying weapons from across our borders, an indication that these claims may have hit a nerve.
In politics, security, and leadership, nothing is ever a coincidence. Silence can often imply consent. Leading up to the June 25th and Saba Saba anniversaries, several politicians allied to William Ruto and Raila Odinga intensified rhetoric, accusing one community of believing it alone can lead Kenya. Tiaty MP William Kamket urged youth to attack protesters, mocking them as “too fat to run,” while Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi and others have repeatedly declared they will ensure Ruto wins in 2027 “by any means.”
There is a calculated political plan, allegedly backed by President Ruto and key allies, to hold onto power in 2027 through violence, intimidation, and manipulation. The group allegedly orchestrating this scheme is said to report directly to Ruto. It reportedly includes Farouk Kibet, the shadowy Ruto adviser Dr. Kipkoech Muge, MP Alfred Kapondi, former MP Moroto, MP William Kasait Kamket, MP Oscar Sudi, MP Musa Sirma, First Lady Rachel Ruto, and MP Kimani Ichung’wa, among others.
According to one source, militias have allegedly been set up, and on September 27, 2024, fifty Kalenjin warrior leaders were reportedly oathed by Moroto and two other elders. The same source claims that participants were told the oath would bind them to defend the Kalenjin community against alleged aggression from the Kikuyu community.
When the group realized their plan had been leaked, President Ruto is said to have ordered the decommissioning of hidden weapons caches in areas like Lessos, Pokot, Turkana, Mt Elgon etc. However, the individuals involved allegedly restocked and quietly relocated the arms to new locations, continuing their preparations in secret.
These revelations, however disturbing, are consistent with accounts from insiders close to the planners. They should alarm every Kenyan. We must firmly reject any scheme by powerful individuals to incite inter-community conflict as a pathway to power.
The truth is, many Kenyans are deeply dissatisfied with William Ruto’s leadership. He must respect the will of the people and either pursue re-election through lawful, democratic means or be ready to step aside if that is the verdict of the people. Sovereign power belongs not to any one man or ethnic group. It belongs to the people, always.
This Is the anger and feeling we all have @Wakabando
This is what Ruto cannot believe.
He thinks we are paid to hate, we aren’t. We detest him because of his actions and words towards us especially as Kenyan Youths.

Kenya has charged 70+ protesters with terrorism. I've covered actual terrorism. These charges trivialize the losses many Kenyan families have suffered.
It's a "weaponization of the criminal justice system" to silent dissent. And @bonifacemwangi says he will not be intimidated
Star Nights Magadi is tucked on a vantage point. Designed to experience magical sunrises and sunsets illuminating the savannah. An immersion experience, from the sights and sounds of nature to the chance of spotting wildlife. Capping it with a night in the open under the stars.
They came for Boniface Mwangi like he was a terrorist.
No proper summons. No due process. Just a fake search warrant with a forged magistrate’s signature - signed off by the DCI.
The charges? Arson. Terrorism.
This is not fiction. This is the Kenya we’re living in. Where the Directorate of Criminal Investigations can fabricate documents, invent crimes, and raid a man’s home, not because he committed violence, but because he dared to speak up.
Boniface Mwangi has been many things - photojournalist, activist, agitator for justice - but never a criminal. And yet, the state uses the language of terror to silence its critics.
Meanwhile, Kenya continues to shake hands with actual war criminals. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan, the same militia the UN says is responsible for genocide in Darfur, still have channels to this government. [UN Human Rights Office, 2023]
So ask yourself: what kind of country fakes warrants against human rights defenders, but entertains armed militias with a body count?
The danger is not just in Boniface’s arrest - it’s in the precedent. If the DCI can go so far and pin terrorism charges on one man, they can do it to anyone.
Justice cannot be built on lies.

@IEBCKenya , take notice.
Nairobi voters have invoked Article 104 to begin the recall of Esther Passaris.
20th July 2025
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC)
P.O. Box 45371 – 00100
Nairobi, Kenya
RE: DEMAND FOR RECALL OF HON. ESTHER MUTHONI PASSARIS – NAIROBI COUNTY WOMAN REPRESENTATIVE
Dear Sir/Madam,
We, the undersigned citizens and registered voters of Nairobi County, hereby exercise our constitutional right under Article 104 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, read together with the provisions of the Recall of Elected Representatives Act, 2011, to initiate the recall of Hon. Esther Passaris, the Nairobi County Woman Representative.
Grounds for Recall
1. Failure to Uphold Representation Mandate
Hon. Passaris has repeatedly failed to effectively represent the people of Nairobi in Parliament. Her tenure has been marked by disengagement with grassroots issues, absence in critical debates, and a lack of tangible impact on key issues such as women empowerment, public health access, informal sector protection, and youth development — despite these being priority concerns for Nairobi residents.
2. Breach of Public Trust and Leadership Integrity
In direct contravention of Article 73(1) of the Constitution, which mandates leadership founded on integrity, accountability, and service to the people, Hon. Passaris has:
•Sponsored repressive legislation aimed at restricting the constitutionally protected right to protest under Article 37.
•Remained silent in the face of state-sponsored violence, police brutality, femicide, and extrajudicial killings in Nairobi — particularly during the 2024 youth-led protests.
•Publicly admitted, via media statements, to promoting a bill to ban protests— a direct affront to the civic freedoms of her constituents.
This conduct demonstrates a gross abuse of office and a betrayal of the spirit and letter of the Constitution.
3. Misrepresentation and Political Partisanship
The office of Woman Representative is designed to be non-partisan and service-oriented, especially towards vulnerable populations including women, children, and persons living with disabilities. Hon. Passaris, however, has used her position to serve partisan political interests at the expense of Nairobi voters. Her actions reflect loyalty to political power blocs over the people, undermining trust and failing the principles of public participation enshrined in Article 10 of the Constitution.
Conclusion and Prayer
As voters of Nairobi County, we no longer have confidence in Hon. Esther Passaris to serve as our elected representative. Her continued stay in office undermines the democratic values we cherish and the vision of accountable leadership envisioned in our Constitution.
We therefore respectfully request the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to:
•Acknowledge receipt of this demand;
•Facilitate the recall process as outlined under the Recall of Elected Representatives Act;
•Uphold the will of the Nairobi electorate by initiating due process without undue delay.
This petition is made in good faith, grounded in law, and driven by the collective will to restore integrity, accountability, and servant leadership in Nairobi County.
Yours faithfully,
Abdi Yussuf
Nairobi starehe Voter
