Kiambu Senator Kimani Wamatangi revealed on a mainstream television program on Tuesday that thugs broke the window of his car and stole from him along Jogoo Road.
The incident, according to him, happened a few weeks ago.
''Actually here on Jogoo Road, if you are driving at this time and there's a bit of jam now despite the police controlling, somebody will come and knock and break the glass of your car and literally steal from you when you are in and there is nothing that you can do. That happened to me a few weeks ago as I was driving up that way,'' Senator Wamatangi said.
The senator spoke while weighing in on the shocking levels of corruption in the country, saying that corruption was deeply ingrained in the social fabric.
Wamatangi's words underscore the audacity of thugs in the city engaging in crime with impunity.
He wondered why the thugs were stealing in spite of law enforcement officers being in the vicinity.
The senator was in a panel discussion that featured MP Otiende Omollo, and Jakoyo Midiwo.
