The National Assembly Budget and Appropriations Committee Chairman warned that the trend of youth hijacking political events for quick cash is getting out of hand. He described the culture of entitlement among some young people in the Luo Nyanza region as a growing menace that threatens local security and orderly leadership.
“If you want to see me, book an appointment. Do not just storm my meetings,” a visibly agitated Atandi stated.
The legislator went further to issue a stern security warning to those who have made it a habit to forcefully surround and hang onto his official vehicle during public appearances. He cautioned that such reckless behavior carries severe consequences, noting that his bodyguards are authorized to protect him.
“If you hang on my vehicle and get shot by bodyguards, I will not be blamed,” the MP warned, emphasizing that the actions of the youth are unlawful and endanger everyone involved.
While some Kenyans online have criticized politicians for creating a dependency culture through cash handouts, many have sympathized with the lawmaker, calling for an end to the dangerous disruption of official leadership meetings.
