Raila Visits Wanjigi’s Muthaiga Residence After Police Raid
Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga visited businessman Jimi Wanjigi’s home on Friday after the police laid siege at the residence after the agency linked the Safina Party leader to Thursday’s anti-government protests.
Raila, who is known to be a close ally of Wanjigi was depicted making his way to the residence in a show of solidarity of the businessman who has accused the Kenya Kwanza government of persecuting him for constantly exposing its fiscal indiscipline.
This came even as NARC-Kenya Party leader Martha Karua was depicted confronting police officers outside the residence whom she accused of operating outside the law.
Karua had camped outside the residence accompanied by her deputy and her party’s secretary general.
The former Gichugu MP demanded the police to vacate from the premises because they had no legal permit to conduct any searches.
“What is happening is an illegality, police should never search and break into people’s home without warrant, unless it is something that endangers the public. There’s nothing they are asking Wanjigi. We have asked them to leave on behalf of the family,” Karua asserted.
“They have left the main house but they are still here outside his gate,” she told a journalist, adding that the family is not secure with the police’s presence because they terrorized them the whole night.
