KTN has exposed an alleged, chilling plan by elements within the Kenyan government to sabotage Wednesday’s June 25 Gen Z memorial protests. The protests, meant to honor over 60 young lives lost in last year’s finance bill uprising, now face a dark and dangerous threat.
Here’s how the plot is unfolding, in 7 disturbing steps.
1. A High-Level Plot Hatched in Secret
According to KTN, a powerful Rift Valley UDA MP, acting under instructions from a State House operative, is at the center of this operation to sabotage tomorrow’s protests.
But they are not acting alone. At least five other MPs — two from Kisii, two from Central Kenya, and a female MP from Rift Valley, plus a governor have allegedly been assigned specific tasks to disrupt, derail, and destroy the protests from the inside.
2. The Sarova Meeting That Set the Plan in Motion
On Monday, June 16, and at the height of #JusticeforAlbertOjwang protests, this shadowy team met in person at Sarova Panafric Hotel in Nairobi for two hours.
Behind closed doors, they discussed how to “neutralize” the Gen Z movement. How?
- Target women specifically- creating fear, vulnerability, and chaos among protesters.
- Snatch the phones of protesters so they do not document any police brutality metted on them.
The results? Already visible. By Tuesday, goons riding on bodabodas, armed with clubs and crude weapons were seen roaming Nairobi, allegedly under protection from police.
Protesters trying to mourn and speak up are being met with an organized counterforce, not just coincidence.
🪓 3. A Small Army of Hired Goons
The core of the plan? Violence.
Thousands of rungus (clubs), identical in shape and size, were reportedly manufactured at a private facility in Nanyuki allegedly owned by a local politician.
These weapons were then shipped to Nairobi using police vehicles, according to KTN sources.
The goons — young, jobless men from Mathare, Korogocho, Kibera, Kawangware, and Kayole — are being recruited with promises of cash, protection, and silence.
4. Silence the Protesters- Literally
The operation reportedly includes snatching phones, especially from protesters recording police or goon brutality. The goal? Block documentation, stop the spread of truth, and let violence go unseen. This is to avoid a repeat of BBC’s Blood Parliament Documentary.
They want a protest that bleeds quietly, out of sight, without witnesses or evidence.
💻 5. Digital Mercenaries and Media Suppression
This isn’t just happening on the streets. It’s also playing out online — with state-linked digital strategists crafting smear campaigns, hashtags, and online misinformation to discredit protesters and media houses ahead of June 26.
KTN has obtained WhatsApp messages and internal memos that lay bare this cyber war, targeting journalists and public opinion alike.
6. The Women Behind the Operation
KTN names several key figures driving the plan:
- Antonella Kakuko (aka Nella) – A ruthless UDA comms insider. She is allegedly raising millions to bankroll the chaos. Her venomous tweet reads: “Marehemu watarajiwa wa Wednesday ni Wednesday. Hiyo haraka ya kuenda Sayuni sijui mbitoa wapi… mtoto akilia uembe, mpe.”
A chilling celebration of bloodshed. - Elizabeth Waithira (aka Liz) – Allegedly recruiting goons on behalf of Governor Johnson Sakaja, though the governor denies involvement, saying he has “never and will never sponsor violence.”
- Karen Cherotich (aka Kiki) – Based in the Office of the Chief of Staff, she reportedly handles fund coordination.
- Don Kamau – A self-proclaimed ICT strategist, he allegedly bridges planners and foot soldiers via encrypted communications and social media.
7. Street Commanders and Their Turf
On the ground, known UDA mobilizers are reportedly acting as commanders:
- Samuel Mundia – Kayole
- Calvin Okoth aka “Gaucho” – Makadara
- Soale Sonko – Kibera
- Absalom Othiambo aka “Matakwe” – Korogocho
Each of them allegedly controls a local goon squad ready to clash with protesters at the first sign of unrest.
A Country on Edge
KTN’s exposé pulls the curtain back on a government-linked plan to crush dissent. But will a generation that refuses to be ignored, succeed in their Wednesday June 25 protests mission?
