The Opposition coalition NASA has read malice in powerful businessman Jimmy Wanjigi's Muthaiga home by security agencies.
Speaking to the press shortly after arriving at Wanjigi's home, NASA luminaries led by Siaya Senator James Orengo linked the raid to politics, accusing the state of intimidating individuals backing the Opposition.
“We are told that the operation is in connection to a raid on a house in Malindi where some guns were found. Unfortunately, the police could not tell us whether or not they are sure the premises belong to Mr Wanjigi,” he stated.
Orengo was accompanied by former Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama and Suba East MP Junet Mohammed who condemned the act in equal measure.
On his part, Junet asserted that Wanjigi was being harassed and tormented due to his close association with the Opposition outfit.
Wanjigi was a key financier to NASA in the run up to the August polls.
