Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja Sunday issued a firm call for the arrest of individuals caught vandalizing public and private property during recent protests in the city, emphasizing that destruction will not be tolerated under the guise of civic expression.
Speaking at Friends Comprehensive School in Kivaywa, Kakamega County, where he attended a Interdenominational prayer service.Sakaja addressed growing concerns over violent elements infiltrating otherwise peaceful demonstrations in Nairobi.
“Let me speak directly to our youth in Nairobi: please don’t allow yourselves to be used.
Demonstrating for your rights is protected under the law, but destroying property is a crime and will not be allowed,” Sakaja said.
He revealed that some perpetrators had already been captured on CCTV footage and urged law enforcement to act decisively.
“CCTV footage clearly shows some of those involved.
I urge the police to arrest them.
This is no longer about demonstrating this is criminal activity.
Our Victorian lights and dustbins were destroyed.
Shop owners open their doors in the morning only to have their businesses attacked.
That is a criminal act, and it will be treated as such,” he stated.
