Ichung’wah anashtaki msimamizi wa Gachagua kwa kuzuia Southern Bypass

MP wa Kikuyu na Kiongozi wa Wengi wa Bunge Kimani Ichung’wah amemshutumu zamani Rais Bunge Rigathi Gachagua kwa kuandaa kuzuia barabara ya Southern Bypass asubuhi mapema kabla ya mkutano wa upinzani. Vijana walizui barabara kwa matairi yakiyeyuka na mawe, wakishambulia madereva kabla polisi hawajingilia. Tukio hilo linafuatiwa na barua zilizobadilishana kushutumu njama za kuzuia hafla hiyo.

Asubuhi ya leo kati ya saa 5:30 na 6:00, vijana waliovaa masituri na wenye pembe zilizofunika nyuso walizui Southern Bypass katika maeneo ya Thogoto Kiamburi, lango la PCEA Kikuyu na Gitaru. Walitumia matairi yakiyeyuka, mawe na trela kuzuia njia zote mbili, na kushambulia madereva na watembea kwa miguu. Upatikanaji wa Mji wa Kikuyu ulizuiwa kwenye daraja la reli, na barabara ya Dagoretti-Kikuyu pia ilifungwa.

Polisi walifungua tena barabara hiyo Gitaru na kurejesha usafiri. Ichung’wah, katika taarifa yake mtandaoni inayoitwa "security update", alimtaja msimamizi maarufu kutoka Ruai kama mhusika mkuu chini ya maagizo ya Gachagua. Alisema kitendo hicho ni "cha kujiumiza machafu" ili Gachagua atete njama za serikali.

"Ili kuthibitisha madai yake ya uwongo ya vurugu zilizojiumiza na hamu ya machafu, Gachagua, leo asubuhi saa 5:30-6:00, akitumia mhalifu wake na msimamizi anayejulikana, alijaribu kuzuia Southern Bypass," Ichung’wah aliandika. Alionya dhidi ya "anarchy na kukatiza biashara".

Tukio hilo lilitangulia kubadilishana barua siku ya Ijumaa. Chama cha DCP cha Gachagua kiliandika kwa Inspekta Mkuu wa Polisi Douglas Kanja, kkitaja maafisa wakuu waliokutana April 9 Kentmere Club kupanga kuzuia. Ichung’wah alijibu, akiwakosoa madai hayo na kuonya dhidi ya kuondoa ulinzi.
