Political scientist and consultant Mutahi Ngunyi's house in Nairobi's upmarket Runda was gutted in a fierce inferno last night.
Responding to a tweet by former Digital Communications director at State House Dennis Itumbi who first reported the incident, Ngunyi revealed that his home of 27 years went up in flames at 1:45am.

Dear Fire Brigade, please rush and save @MutahiNgunyi Runda House from FIRE. @NMS_Kenya quick action for a guy who supports you if nothing else. Hope the man is safe and family OK. Other than the tweet, I can only pray that you suffer the LEAST damage and be safe! pic.twitter.com/cqGmZSU6ic — Dennis Itumbi, HSC (@OleItumbi) July 13, 2021
My FREN @OleItumbi MY house in Runda for 27 years WENT on FIRE at 1.45 am. You TOLD the Hustlers at 2.01 am. About 16 minutes LATER. That is after I talked about KIAMBAA violence of 2008 on 5th Estate. Here is a BETTER picture than the one you POSTED. Enjoy. pic.twitter.com/w95WiY34H0 — Mutahi Ngunyi (@MutahiNgunyi) July 14, 2021
