Tuesday, October 1, 2024 - Gatundu North MP Elijah "Kururia" Njoroge has received fierce backlash after he publicly praised the police for arresting activist Kebaso Morara on Monday and saving the government of President William Ruto from further embarrassment.
Speaking in an interview earlier today,
Njoroge expressed his desire for Morara to be held at a police station within
his constituency, suggesting that police should no longer move him around to
evade outraged citizens.
“I have police who are moving Morara to
various police stations. I would like him to be brought to one in Gatundu,
which has street children in it,” he stated.
“Those officers who arrested him, God bless
you so much. I pray they keep moving him so that Morara now knows this country
has laws,” he added.
However, Kenyans expressed their anger at Njoroge's
comments against Morara who has been exposing corruption and President William
Ruto’s ghost projects across the country.
“I have said it and I'll repeat if we
are to change how this country is run, we need to start recalling such MPs,”
Zachary Oguda, brother to Gabriel Oguda, responded to Njoroge’s comments,
A video shared online by Joshua Okayo, a
student leader from the Kenya School of Law, revealed alarming allegations of
police brutality against activists, claiming that some had been beaten, with
one admitted to Kenyatta National Hospital due to injuries sustained during
their detention.
