Controversial politician Mike Mbuvi Sonko has made a statement indicating his willingness to spend the rest of his life in Kamiti Maximum prison for the sake of Kenyans affected by banditry. Sonko shared a video of armed bandits chanting in a yet to be identified local dialect, expressing his desire to have them eliminated completely in order to bring an end to their frequent attacks on innocent Kenyans.
The politician went on to say that he only needs to be given a bomb or grenade and be taught how to use it so that he can deal with the bandits before proceeding to serve his jail sentence. Additionally, he targeted the former Interior Cabinet Secretary, who has been in the police radar in recent times.
In a statement that loosely translates to “These bandits pretend to be angry and possessed. Hand me a bomb or grenade and teach me how to use them so that I can finish all of them so that we rescue Kenyans who are affected by banditry, and then I go and spend the rest of my life in Kamiti waiting for Matiangi to be washing my clothes. Even if he goes there before me, I still have my men locked there for life. I will just give them the order to ensure that he cuts weight.”
Sonko’s statements have been met with mixed reactions, with some people criticizing him for advocating for violence, while others believe that he is genuinely concerned about the safety of Kenyans affected by banditry.
