Laikipia Women Representative Cate Waruguru has called upon religious community to hold prayers at Nanyuki bus stage after protesting matatu operators buried a coffin on Tuesday, April 2 to protest against her.
The touts and drivers who were demonstrating Waruguru's support for private cars operating Public Service Vehicles (PSV), held a mock burial for the Jubilee politician.
The demonstrators carried a dummy coffin which they buried at the bus stage according to statement from the youthful legislator.
"I am now urging the bona-fide matatu owners to organise a prayer meeting to pray for them, forgive the perpetrators for the heinous act of burying a coffin at the bus park, we call upon the religious community to hold a prayer meeting to cleanse the bus park and Matatus in general," she posted.
The former nominated member of county claimed her political enemies had hired goons and hoodlums from outside Laikipia county to fight her for standing against recent government ban on Toyota Probox and Sienta.
"I am and will always be a voice for the voiceless people of Laikipia. Today's demo turned out to be political rivalry as against business lamentations. This was with the help of enemies of the people of Laikipia ostensibly disguised in the name democracy and freedom of demonstrations and picketing," she added.
Previously on Friday, March 15, Waruguru was briefly detained at Nanyuki police station over incitement targeted at PSV owners.
