The genie that was let out of the bottle

Those people who resurrected the much maligned terror gang , the Mungiki, to fight, maim, and even kill other communities after the recently botched elections in Kenya did not know what they were getting themselves into.

Because they wanted to settle score with other communities after they perceived that their people were being unfairly treated and targeted, they recalled the once despised group to come and do their dirty job. After a week of terror and numerous people killed and others driven from their homes in Nakuru and Naivasha, this terror gang is now unleashing its terror on innocent women and girls for the “crime” of wearing trousers and mini-skirts!!

There are reports of women being harassed, disrobed, and even being threatened with death for simply exercising their right to being dressed with their choice of clothes. Mungiki’s wild allegation that dressing in this manner is immodest is rubbish. Now how will this dangerous gang be put back where they belong and so stop the harassment of innocent Kenyans especially women?
