The Ngoroko squad, reportedly in alliance with the Mungiki sect, poses a significant threat to national stability, as it plans to disrupt Kenya’s State of the Nation address. This alliance, which has previously been linked to violent and extortionate activities, threatens to undermine the nation’s unity at a critical moment. Mungiki, a sect that first gained notoriety in the 1990s, has been associated with violence, including attacks on civilians and businesses.
Recently, there have been warnings from political leaders and security agencies regarding the resurgence of Mungiki and other criminal groups. Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has emphasized the government’s commitment to eliminating these sects, warning that any attempts to revive such groups will be met with decisive action. This includes crackdowns on their activities, which may involve infiltrating protests and creating chaos to destabilize the government.
The government has called for vigilance, urging citizens and businesses to remain alert. While the Kikuyu Council of Elders denies the sect’s revival, the threat remains real as security forces continue to monitor and act against these groups. To safeguard the nation’s future, authorities are focusing on preventing these organizations from gaining a foothold in critical sectors like politics and security.
