Wednesday, October 1, 2025 - Chaos erupted at the Jua Kali area after President William Ruto’s powerful aide, Farouk Kibet, reportedly ordered all trucks to be removed from the busy center, sparking tension among locals.
The directive came when one truck accidentally blocked a
vehicle in Farouk’s convoy, prompting him to direct that no trucks should be
allowed to park in the area again.
His directive infuriated truck drivers and traders who rely
on the busy area to earn a living.
A witness captured heated scenes as residents protested what
they termed as “abuse of power”.
The County
Police Commandant was forced to intervene, holding talks with
the drivers and residents in an attempt to calm tempers and prevent the
protests from escalating into violence.
Farouk, considered one of President Ruto’s most trusted confidants, has often been accused of intimidating Kenyans due to his close ties to power.
