Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka recently turned heads when he was seen taking a casual walk accompanied by what he referred to as his “anti-abduction squad.” The move has sparked curiosity and conversation among Kenyans, with many speculating on the reasons behind this unusual display of security.
The former Vice President has been vocal about the need for heightened personal security, citing the increasing cases of abductions and politically motivated harassment in the country. “In these times, one cannot take their safety for granted,” Kalonzo said during a brief interaction with journalists. “My team ensures that I can move freely while focusing on serving Kenyans.”
The so-called “anti-abduction squad” appeared to consist of a mix of professional bodyguards and close allies, all maintaining a vigilant presence as they accompanied Kalonzo on his walk. The politician’s move has drawn mixed reactions, with some praising his proactive approach to personal security while others criticized it as an exaggerated display.
Political analysts have linked Kalonzo’s actions to the heightened political tensions in the country as the 2027 general elections draw closer. “This could be a symbolic move to highlight concerns about safety and accountability in the current political climate,” one analyst noted.
Kalonzo’s walk with his squad has also sparked conversations online, with Kenyans debating the state of security for both leaders and ordinary citizens. While the spectacle may have raised eyebrows, it underscores a broader issue of safety concerns in the nation’s political landscape.
