Drama has erupted online after Eric Mumbi made fiery claims about the Saba Saba protest chaos that rocked Karatina town. In a strongly-worded post, Mumbi insisted that the destruction of property during the protests was not done by locals but by outsiders ferried in at night.
Mumbi claims the suspects were brought into Karatina around 3am using Nissan matatus. CCTV footage and mobile money trails allegedly show how the hired goons received payments to allow cars to pass. Some locals have already filed statements, giving details about how they were threatened and harassed by these gangs.
According to Mumbi, the criminals had plans to destroy popular supermarkets like Mathai and Maguna but were blocked by alert police, Gen Z youth, and concerned business owners. He warned that arrests will follow soon, and anyone linked to the vandalism will face the law.
What sparked even more heat was Mumbi’s swipe at Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka. He accused Kalonzo of jumping from court to court defending violent protesters and warned that anyone who hires a lawyer to represent the suspects must be the real mastermind behind the chaos.
To locals, Mumbi had one message — if you see goons attacking property, don’t just stand and watch. Beat them up, he said, because whoever shows up to defend them is likely the one who sent them.
His post has triggered a mixed reaction online. While some praised his boldness, others accused him of promoting mob justice and dragging Kalonzo into issues without proof. Either way, his words have fired up the political climate yet again.
As investigations continue, the big question remains: who really brought the chaos to Karatina? And are political players using the protests to settle scores?
Whether it’s justice or politics at play, one thing is clear — Kenyans are watching, and they want answers, not blame games.
