While responding to the incidence, Kenyans have taken their viewpoints onto social media blaming both the government and the opposition on the matter.
The following are some of the comments from the people of Kenya:
Levince Ochieng Onyango: Rigathi Gachagua has dispatched Mungiki in every corner of Nairobi city.
Stanlone Cashion: @Citizen TV Kenya hawa ni Wale wajambazi wa Gachagua, tunawajua
Silas Tarus: They always say police provoked them, did the journalists take over police work. The earlier we agree that these are goons, the better, we need to ruthlessly deal with them once and for all.
Joel Lekodi: Raila Must be jail for Life.. I Wish The ICC i used to Hear are watching it for Better evidences
Surua Kadel: Journalist should be extra careful because these boys are hungry and angry at the same time. There’s so much pressure and stress in the country. Mungu tu atuhurumie.
Kirorei Benson: Ndio muache kiherehere. These goons deserves no viewership. You are giving them unnecessary airtime and you may end up liting the whole country
Earlier, Azimio leader and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga took a public notice accusing the Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to be responsible for unnecessary attacks in various regions of the country during the mass demonstrations.
Raila Odinga, ahead of today’s protests, said Rigathi Gachagua was behind implantation of goons in respective parts of Nairobi including Kibra.
According to the statement released by the ODM leader, the said goons are well equipped with weapons and have been informed to cause chaos so that the blames would focus to the opposition supporters.
