Lawyer Harrison Kinyanjui was robbed of his phone by goons outside City Hall on April 9, while President William Ruto was addressing the Nairobi County Assembly. CCTV footage captured the incident, showing the goons acting boldly despite the presence of police and the presidential security team. Kinyanjui stated he was unaware of the goons' presence and that they were smoking in broad daylight. He reported the incident to the police but claims no action has been taken, noting that over 20 other individuals, including women who had lost personal effects and one with stab wounds, were also reporting similar incidents from the same location. The incident has led to public outrage, with some Kenyans suggesting government involvement in the surging daylight robberies, questioning how such an event could occur so close to the President's security detail without official sanction.
