As we speak, some UDA MPs are now being lined up to hold press conferences castigating their own people.
The script is becoming clearer by the day. Ruto, Murkomen and Sudi must come out clearly on the death of Wanjiku, “the tattoo lady.”
The people of my region are generally tolerant when it comes to politics, which is why many people find the attack on Wanjiku suspicious and politically convenient.
Just like the car that was torched in Githurai yesterday, many questions remain unanswered. Did you hear the driver speaking with what sounded like a Nigerian accent, claiming the car was burnt because demonstrators found a UDA scarf inside?
That immediately introduced a political motive into the story.
Now another incident has emerged: a truck belonging to MP Biego, a UDA MP, was reportedly torched during the protests in Naivasha, with claims that it was targeted because of his perceived political and regional association.
Conveniently, every incident now seems tailored to push one narrative: that the attacks are politically and ethnically targeted.
Kenyans are not blind. Many are beginning to ask whether some of these incidents are spontaneous or carefully curated to justify a bigger political script.
Did you also hear the owner of the Githurai car say the insurance company would not compensate her because the vehicle was not insured against demonstrations?
Another cue for Ruto to donate a new car and appear for a photo session.
Many people believe there is a deliberate attempt to portray the people of Mt. Kenya as violent, yet that is not who they are.
Others also fear this could be part of a broader political scheme against RiggyG, aimed at thwarting his return from the UK.
The people of Mt. Kenya will not be intimidated, profiled, or politically provoked into fear.
