Transport along Jogoo Road has been disrupted after protesters blocked the road to protest against the dumped bodies that have been retrieved from Kware dumpsite.

The discovery of bodies in Mukuru kwa Njenga area of Embakasi, Nairobi sparked an outrage among locals who were involved in a standoff with the police.

At least four more bodies were retrieved from the dumpsite on Saturday July 13 after the locals were invited to offer help in the retrieval where the bodies were pulled using strong ropes.

Vehicles plying the route that connects Nairobi CBD to Eastland estates of Umoja, Kayolke and Embakasi, among others, were forced to stop as the youth have occupied all parts of the road.

Videos taken from the Road showed the youth hanging on police Landcruiser driven by a local and others marching singing “Ruto must go”.

Boda bodas led the march at the front as sounds of sirens rent the air in the background. The residents are demanding justice following the discovery of bodies at the quarry dumpsite.

Tensions remained high earlier on Saturday July 13 during the body retrieval at the dumpsite in Mukuru kwa Njenga slums as local residents charged at police officers, demanding answers about the situation.

The crowd’s uneasiness led them to charge at the police officers, demanding that the sacks be opened. Police officers at the scene responded by firing teargas canisters to disperse the crowd.

Ruto Speaks on Mukuru Dumped Bodies

Meanwhile, President William Ruto has directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), National Police Service (NPS) and all the agencies involved in investigating homicide incidents to look into the matter with urgency.

“We must find all those who were involved in the deaths of these people, and they will face the full force of the law,” he said.

Ruto stated that the government will pursue those involved in the killings, emphasizing that they have committed crimes against both the law and humanity.

“We will punish them because killing a Kenyan in any way is against the Constitution and the human rights of any nation,” Ruto said.

On Saturday July 12, at least six bodies were discovered at the scene. According to a report by the DCI, the six bodies, all female and in various stages of decomposition were wrapped in nylon papers and reinforced with nylon ropes.

DCI also disclosed that the bodies discovered in Mukuru Kwa Njenga on July 12 were all killed in similar ways.

“Preliminary investigations suggest a similar mode of killing for the deceased,” stated the DCI.

The Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) directed the Office of the Inspector-General of the National Police Service to conduct a thorough investigation and forward the resultant file for perusal within twenty-one (21) days.
