What’s even more concerning is the police’s response—or lack thereof. Gaitho claims that local officers, including the OCS and Deputy OCS of Muthangari, have turned a blind eye to the situation after being bribed by Alai. This has left residents feeling frustrated and betrayed.
The situation is making many people question how a figure like Alai, who was once seen as a reformist, is now linked to something as shady as land-grabbing.
Gaitho even slammed Kileleshwa voters for electing Alai, a man from Nyakach, accusing them of failing to protect their own community’s interests.
As the controversy unfolds, residents of Kileleshwa are calling for answers, demanding that both their MCA and local authorities be held accountable for what’s going on in their neighborhood.
