Recently, Maina Njenga, a former leader of the Mungiki, was arrested and taken to the DCI headquarters in Nairobi. The DCI had just searched the home of a former Mungiki leader, leading to the discovery of firearms and a large quantity of Bhang.
The arrest of Azimio Ally, who was with him at DCI Headquarters, sparked heated controversy among Kenya’s top politicians. Maina Njenga and a group of my Kenyan government’s top brass have been cautioned by Mungiki’s second-in-command, the honorable Rigathi Gachagua, not to try to recruit young people for the group.
The government will not enable the Criminal gang to function and terrify Kenyans, the second chief of command was quoted as saying in a recent article by Citizen TV news Kenya on the Facebook social media network.
Among the sites he said the former Mungiki commander had mansions in were Lavington, Karen, and Kitengela. He further claimed that he had taken advantage of unemployed kids to steal from good Kenyans.
