Recently, people known as paid goons who attended a public participation event at Bomas of Kenya have started confessing on camera about why they were there. These confessions have caught a lot of attention and raised concerns about how the public participation process is handled.
Witnesses at the event reported a tense atmosphere, with many attendees unhappy about what was happening. Among the crowd, some individuals, identified as hired participants, allegedly caused chaos and confusion. Their on-camera confessions reveal troubling facts about how political events can be manipulated.
The goons admitted that they were paid to create a noisy environment. One of them said, “We were given money to come here and make noise.” This has frustrated genuine participants who wanted to engage meaningfully in the discussions.
Social media has reacted with a mix of anger and humour. Some users joked, “The good thing about ghetto people is, they love snitching on themselves,” pointing out that those involved in such actions often do not realize the long-term problems they may cause. This situation highlights a larger issue of political manipulation, where real public opinions can be hidden by planned disruptions.
Political experts say these confessions show a need for transparency in public events. They warn that allowing paid participants can weaken the democratic process, leading to decisions that do not truly represent the people’s views.
As these confessions spread, authorities may feel the need to investigate the event further. This situation serves as a warning about the importance of real public engagement and the need to stop outside influences from affecting political processes.
