In a shocking turn of events, Kileleshwa Ward Member of the Nairobi City County Assembly (MCA) has vehemently condemned the brutal attack on members of the County enforcement team that unfolded at a construction site in the South C area. The incident, which occurred on 25th February, has sparked outrage and calls for immediate action.
Expressing his unequivocal condemnation, the MCA underscored the gravity of the situation, citing reports of female officers being subjected to rape and male officers facing sodomy at the hands of unruly youth at the site.
The MCA emphasized that such heinous acts must not go unpunished, urging for the swift apprehension and prosecution of the perpetrators to the fullest extent of the law.
Beyond seeking justice for the victims, the MCA demanded the immediate closure of the suspect construction site and the suspension of all building activities pending a comprehensive investigation.
The alleged actions at the site have raised serious concerns about the possibility of criminals operating under the guise of legitimate development in Nairobi.
Disturbingly, the statement alleges a cover-up attempt by top Nairobi City County enforcement and planning officers, potentially motivated by Governor Johnson Sakaja’s purported personal relationship with the developer.
The MCA decried such actions as unacceptable and called for the immediate suspension of the implicated officers to facilitate an independent investigation.
The incident has brought to the forefront the pressing need for reform and accountability within Nairobi City County’s governance.
The MCA directed a stern call to Governor Sakaja, urging him to break his silence on the matter and take decisive action to ensure that all individuals involved, from the attackers to any complicit officials, face consequences for their actions.
Furthermore, the MCA called for the suspension of various project approvals associated with the construction site, including Nairobi City County planning approval (PLUPA-BPN-000724-N), National Environmental Management Authority approval (NEMA/EIA/VEIA/3068), and National Construction Authority approval (53127715710670).
These measures are seen as crucial steps to address the gravity of the situation and send a strong message that such barbaric behavior and potential cover-ups will not be tolerated in Nairobi.
The statement underscores the citizens’ right to know that their city will not tolerate criminal behavior and emphasizes the importance of holding officials accountable for any attempts to shield wrongdoers from justice. As the community grapples with the aftermath of this shocking incident, there is a collective call for transparency, justice, and a renewed commitment to the principles of good governance within Nairobi City County.
