MP says rival hired goons to crash her road event

Githunguri lawmaker Gathoni Wamuchomba says someone from her area paid troublemakers to wreck her road opening ceremony. She claims the gang came from a poor Nairobi neighborhood to mess up the event on Sunday morning. The people carried dangerous knives and tried to stop the road celebration from happening. Local residents and police officers fought back against the attackers.

Wamuchomba points fingers at a former politician who works for the government. She says this person walked around with the gang members and helped them cause problems. The lawmaker believes someone protects this politician from getting into trouble. She also claims the same person recently threatened to hurt some of her workers.

The MP filed a complaint about these incidents but nobody has looked into the matter. She wants police to investigate the politician and everyone connected to the violence. Wamuchomba thinks these attacks aim to stop her from helping people in her area. She believes nobody should be allowed to cause such chaos without facing consequences.

Wamuchomba recently joined forces with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. The two politicians met at party offices on June 12 and later traveled around her constituency together. She told crowds to vote against President William Ruto when elections happen in 2027. This marked her first time appearing with Gachagua after staying away for six months.
