The freezing of Governor Kimani Wamatangi’s accounts amounting Sh813m should be understood within a clear historical pattern, not as an isolated or sudden development.
Similar actions were taken last year, reinforcing claims that this is part of a sustained campaign of political persecution rather than a genuine legal process.
After the raid on his home in April last year, authorities appeared determined to secure incriminating evidence against Governor Wamatangi.
When that attempt yielded nothing, the focus shifted in May to events from his 2017 life, with allegations widely viewed as manufactured and malicious. These charges also collapsed, further strengthening the narrative that the process was driven by political motives rather than facts.
The decision to freeze his accounts in October 2025 fits squarely into this ongoing pattern of intimidation. Having failed through raids and recycled allegations, the use of financial pressure emerged as the next tactic to cripple him and send a warning to others.
Taken together, these actions portray a systematic strategy aimed at harassment and political suppression, not accountability or the rule of law.
