- Property near Nyayo Stadium demolished at night
- Business reportedly linked to Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi
- Cars inside the compound were damaged
- Heavy police presence during the operation
- Reason for demolition still unclear
- Allies claim it was politically driven
Drama unfolded late Tuesday night after a property reportedly linked to Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi was demolished in a surprise operation that has since stirred political debate.
The structure in question is Super Clean Shine Carpet & Car Wash, located near Nyayo Stadium. Videos and photos circulating online show an excavator tearing down the business under tight security, with several police officers present at the scene. The demolition happened at night, catching workers and nearby motorists off guard.
Footage shared by Derrick Mbugua, a close ally of the governor, shows the car wash being flattened as vehicles parked within the compound were crushed by falling debris. The operation appeared swift and coordinated, suggesting it was not a random enforcement exercise.
By Wednesday morning, the site had been reduced to rubble, with many Kenyans online questioning why the business was targeted and why the demolition happened at night. As of now, no official statement has been issued explaining the reason behind the exercise.
Derrick Mbugua has alleged that the demolition was politically motivated, a claim that has fueled speculation, especially given the governor’s standing in Mt. Kenya politics.
However, government agencies involved have not confirmed whether the property belonged to Governor Wamatangi or if the demolition followed a legal enforcement process.
The silence from authorities has only deepened the mystery, with Kenyans demanding clarity on whether the move was lawful, political, or part of a wider crackdown on illegally acquired or irregular developments.
