TWO MPs from Nyanza want the government to move with speed and crack-down the out-lawed mungiki sect and its activities ones and for all.
Rarieda MP ,Eng. Nicholas Gumbo and his Kasipul-Kabondo countarpart Oyugi Magwanga accussed the state of not being serious in dealing with the group which has visited mayhelm in different parts of the country in the recent past.
The two legislators who spoke to this writer in seperate interviews said the police and other law enforcement agencies should be mobilised to crack-down the group and no excuse should be entertained.
They wondered why the same force employed by the government to deal with youths protesting the disputed election results has not been used to clear Mungiki, alawless out fit which continue to kill and mame innocent Kenyans.
The duo said it was morally wrong for the government to behave as though the sect was licenced to carry out its henious acts and people who openly associate with it are allowed to get away with it.
Speaking on phone the two Mps added that the fact that the wife to th sect chaiman was killed was not enough reason for its followers to turn their wrath on the public who knew absolutely nothing to do with the incident.
”How can a group which has been out-lawed march in the city streets in broad day light to press for the release of a man who was convicted legally through the courts.,?”said Magwanga.
Kenyans woke up this last week to a rude shoke when the group members barricaded major roads countrywide to protest what they claimed was harrasment by the police.
During the orgy of violence visited on unsuspecting motorists,several cars were burnt down and tyres lit on the roads.
The group seem to have defied the police and throughout the week opereated as though they had taken over the running of some parts of the country which was just begining to recover from the post election skirmishes.
ENDS.
