It is now emerging that A section of University students who invaded Richard Ngatia’s meeting yesterday were sent by his political rivals.
Yesterday unverified videos were circulating on social media of several youths claiming to be university students claiming they were stranded for non-payment after attending the meeting
Ngatia had met 2000 representatives from universities, Technical and Vocational Education and Training colleges drawn from Nairobi where he was endorsed for the Governorship by the students on Thursday, January 27th, 2022.
Those who attended the meeting are now saying that the malicious rumours are being peddled by Ngatia’s rivals on sensing defeat as a tactic of trying to bring him down early by discrediting his reputation ahead of the elections
The students drawn from various universities across the city said they had a very successful meeting with Ngatia where the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) boss was able to campaign and sell his manifesto and agenda for Nairobi and the youth.
However the students said they went to meet Ngatia on their own volition after honouring his invite and not to get money or bus fare from him for attending his meeting.
“We were impressed by Ngatia’s presentation which convinced us that he is the best candidate for Governor and that’s why we endorsed him. I think it is from this that his opponents to social media to try and spoil his good name,” they said.
