Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja strongly condemned the recent destruction of property during protests in Nairobi, urging Kenyans to pursue justice through peaceful means not violence.
Speaking during a women and youth empowerment event at Sambut Primary School in Kamagut Ward, Sakaja addressed the recent killing of media team associate Ojwang’, describing it as a tragedy, but emphasized that the response must not descend into lawlessness.
“The killing of Ojwang’ is very unfortunate. He was a friend and occasionally worked with us in the media team,I have committed to helping his family I will cover all burial expenses, offer his widow a job, and build rental houses for his father,” Sakaja reiterated.
While affirming his personal support for the grieving family, Sakaja issued a stern warning to those exploiting the tragedy as a pretext for destruction.
“Even if we are angry, let’s not destroy our property. If we must demonstrate, let us do so peacefully.
The next time let no one try to destroy infrastructure, burn cars, steal from businesses, or cause chaos,” he warned.
