Is this man the person who unmasked the activities and the existence of the deep state?
John Njoroge Michuki, the unapologetic capitalist and champion of GEMA nation neutralized the dreaded Mungiki sect. He said funeral rites of the sect adherents will be held every week…until Mungiki is wiped out. And it happened.
When a then Standard reporter (now an Mp) leaked a planned expose about the President Kibaki family, Michuki struck hard…destroyed copies of the Standard and warned that the Government is like a serpent…and that you rattle it at your own peril.
The comments sent chills to media fraternity after the dreadful night when masked men descended on the offices and printing press of the Standard Group in Nairobi, Kenya. This was after the minister accused the press of publishing ‘paid articles’ fueling ethnic tensions.
When some people in Central province moved helter-skelter looking for a successor to President Mwai Kibaki in Central, Michuki curtly declared Uhuru Kenyatta the leader.
“If you want to speak to Central Province…talk to Uhuru Kenyatta.” said Michuki, and the debate was terminated.
When some people claimed Nairobi water was irredeemable of pollution, Michuki cleaned it, stopped factories from dumping there, and apply said Nairobi kids will swim in a clean Nairobi river, it came to pass.
“Every day, Michuki called to find out if the water beetles were back. He longed to see them dance around. He was happy to hear that mudfish was back since his desire was to see the river get its glory back,” Gakuo recalls.
Michuki wanted the river clean from Kikuyu to Ruai. He wanted the city sparkling clean.
During a road inspection tour in Kitui County, residents complained that the contractor, Victory Construction Limited was shortchanging the Government.
Michuki went to the road, measured the width and dug the depth, and warned the contractor that he was headed to Kamiti. It was said that upon hearing this, He styled up and the project was completed well within the prescribed standards. And time.
