We joke about goons and sometimes we make light of the issue, but on a serious note, leaders across the political divide must stop using young men as political weapons
I know iv been linked to goons recently, especially after the Kamau wa Kisumu incident. The facts, however, speak for themselves. The videos he posted show me with women and seven members of my staff after an operation we had been running that morning. But that is not even the point I want to make
The danger with breeding a goon culture is that it never remains under anyoneβs control. Today they work for one politician, tomorrow they work for another. Their loyalty lies with the highest bidder. What we are creating today may become a monster we cannot manage tomorrow, especially as we head into an electioneering period
Just as the Kamjesh and Mungiki cultures were contained, Police must rein in on this growing culture and eliminate political goonism before it becomes entrenched
To our youth, do not allow yourselves to be used. the three who are in industrial area remand right now should serve as an example to you. Politicians will move on, but you will be left to face the consequences alone. Your family will bear the pain. Ukiwa neti ama ata ugenye kwa hio shugli mokoro wako, mamaa na wa less ndio watakapitia, si poa
There is plenty of campaign work and community engagement through which young people can earn a living without risking arrest, injury, and even death
As for me, my position remains I have never, and I will never, give any young person dirty work against an opponent or another person. And for the avoidance of doubt, even the stories about goons reversing M-Pesa payments at Kamauβs are just that, stories. It did nt happen
Let us build leaders, not goons
