Jubilee Party presidential hopeful Fred Matiangi has broken his silence on the escalating violence in Western Kenya, condemning the vandalism of Governor George Natembeya’s vehicle in Chwele as “sanctioned hooliganism.”

In a fiery statement issued via his official Facebook account, the former Interior CS did not mince words, placing the blame squarely at the feet of National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.

Matiangi framed the attack not as a local skirmish, but as a national threat to multiparty democracy.

“This is a reprehensible assault on the very fabric of our democracy,” Matiangi wrote, warning that such “archaic political intimidation” signals a retreat into a dark era of intolerance.

By stepping into the vicious supremacy battle between Natembeya and the Wetangula-Mudavadi axis, Matiangi is asserting his stature as a national leader.

His intervention signals that the 2027 race will not just be about votes, but about protecting the democratic space from what he terms “primitive tactics.”
