The unfolding controversy has reignited a long standing national debate on political power, selective justice, and whether some leaders are effectively above the law.
At the centre of the storm are Murang’a Woman Representative Betty Maina and Mathira MP Eric Wamumbi.
Allegations circulating in political and security circles suggest that individuals linked to the two leaders were involved in chaotic scenes that disrupted worship services, some of which reportedly involved women and children.
The incidents have drawn widespread condemnation, not just for their brazenness, but for what critics say is the troubling silence or inaction by law enforcement agencies.
As disturbing images and testimonies emerge, questions are being raised about the conduct of the police and the apparent reluctance to decisively act against politically connected figures.
Critics argue that the lack of swift arrests or interrogations reinforces a perception that political influence, rather than the rule of law, determines who is questioned, who is charged, and who remains untouched.
Statements attributed to the leaders have further fueled debate, with counterclaims emerging over the extent of the violence and the role of security officers during the incidents.
While some dismiss the chaos as exaggerated or politically motivated, others insist that the scenes exposed a dangerous erosion of accountability.
The saga has struck a nerve in a country still grappling with the legacy of impunity.
For many Kenyans, the issue goes beyond individual politicians; it speaks to a broader system where power can shield wrongdoing and undermine public trust in institutions meant to protect citizens.
As pressure mounts, the unfolding events present a defining test for the police, the justice system, and the political leadership. The core question remains stark: are all Kenyans equal before the law, or are some leaders truly untouchable?
