The complaints came after Mwiki representative Isaac Ngige’s home was allegedly broken into on October 17 by unknown persons. Ngige who was not at home said the gang ransacked the house and took away expensive items.
“I am not sure what they were after, whether to steal, harm or kill me,” said Ngige.

“They were not regular robbers. They also had political intentions, but we were lucky to sustain minor injuries,” Mumo told The Nairobian.
