Molo Member of Parliament (MP) Kimani has forgiven those who invaded and looted his home during the anti-Finance Bill 2024 protests and asked the DCI to drop the charges against them.

Kimani stated, "I ask @DCI_Kenya and the police to withdraw charges against all the youth that were arrested and charged. Let them be released so that they can get back to work."

However, he warned that future invasions would have severe consequences, emphasizing that repeat offenses would not be tolerated: "But let us also agree on one thing, doing it once is not a mistake, but repeating it is a mistake. Let us never repeat that despite how angry we will be."

The protests, fueled by opposition to the Finance Bill 2024, saw Kimani, the National Assembly Finance and Planning Chairperson, heavily criticized for supporting the now-withdrawn bill. The backlash culminated in the invasion of his Molo residence, where protesters looted valuable goods and set his house on fire.

Kimani is not the only leader affected by the unrest. Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi's nightclub, Timba XO, was also invaded, with protesters stealing spirits and property of undetermined value. In Nyeri, the Chieni supermarket, owned by Kieni MP Njoroge Wainaina, was looted and set ablaze by protesters.

The incidents highlight public anger and violent reactions to the Finance Bill 2024. Kimani's call for forgiveness and releasing arrested individuals aims to restore peace and encourage a return to normalcy.
