There was shock across the country on Friday evening after the National Police Service (NPS) made serious claims against Edwin Sifuna.
The police said that the Nairobi Senator had allegedly planned to cause chaos at his own rally that is set to take place this weekend in Kakamega County.
In a statement released to the public, the police claimed that Sifuna had hired goons from Nairobi and was planning to transport them to Kakamega on Saturday.
According to the statement, the hired individuals were expected to disrupt the rally and create fear among residents. The police further alleged that the senator had even promised the goons firearms to use during the event.
The NPS also claimed that they had information showing that teargas canisters were part of the plan. They said the aim was to cause confusion and possibly injure innocent Kenyans who would attend the rally peacefully.
These claims have raised serious concerns among the public, especially those planning to attend the political gathering.
The police warned that they will not allow any leader to endanger the lives of citizens. They vowed to arrest the senator before the rally if the alleged plan is confirmed.
According to the authorities, allowing the rally to continue under such circumstances could put many innocent people at risk.
As of now, many Kenyans are waiting to hear Sifuna’s response to the allegations. The situation remains tense as security agencies continue monitoring the matter closely.
