However, the third vehicle, a double cabin pickup, sustained damage from stones and the invaders who were protesting accusing him of betrayal made away with 10,000 chickeen that were being reared in his Molo farm.
In the incident, most of the chicken were stolen by the angry residents and others totalling to nearly over 200 were burnt in anger in Kimani Kuria’s home that day.
Additionally, six grade cows and 29 goats were reported stolen during the invasion. The MP is said to have notified the police who started investigations immediately.
Reports indicate that four out of the six cows were recovered by the police. However, one of the cows was found slaughtered. Police however assured the MP that they were in the process of recovereming the rest of the stolen herds.
Residents didn’t stop there. They also stonned the MP’s house and smashed the windows of his two storey building. Kuria was not only in support of the bill, but also the initiator of the bill being the Finance Committee Chair.
This came after the bill was passed in Parliament sparking nationwide protests with kenyans calling for the rejection of the entire bill over taxes that have been described as impunitive.
