Faith Chandianya, a journalist at TUKO.co.ke, brings over three years of experience covering politics and Current Affairs in Kenya

Kenyans gathered at the Nairobi Central Business District on Tuesday, June 17, to protest the brutal killing of Albert Ojwang' and demand the resignation of DIG Eliud Lagat.

However, things did not go as anticipated as goons infiltrated the protest, attacking civilians and breaking into businesses.

Some of the goons were captured entering the CBD on motorbikes as they warned Kenyans against participating in protests.

Others were seen marching comfortably with rungus ready to attack anyone who went against their wishes.

This sparked questions on who orchestrated the move to have goons disrupt peaceful protests.

The National Police Service and the Nairobi governor Johnson Sakaja denied being involved as they condemned the violence displayed by the goons.

While speaking to Citizen TV, some of the goons admitted that they were indeed hired to make the protests chaotic.

"I was in Kawangware but came to CBD for my usual job as a boda boda rider. I met with my colleagues who invited me to join them. We were near Kanjo. About 10 minutes later our names were written down," one goon said.

"I came with 83 youths from Kibera," another goon said.

Some of the goons are nursing injuries after being attacked in the protests. Others decry not being paid after carrying out the orders issued by politicians whom they didn't name.

"Me and my colleagues were given KSh 50 each as our bus fare," one goon said

"I was supposed to be given a total of KSh 2000. They said we would receive the money after the job. When I called afterwards they said they are also yet to receive money. When I called later, the phone had been switched off. I hear this type of money is never a debt. Once you're not paid that's it," another man complained.

One man said that it was hard to get paid after doing such tasks as they couldn't report the matter to the police because they had no proof that they were hired to disrupt protests.

"The recording of the video at the city hall was just proof that we had done our job, but we are yet to receive our payment," he said.

Footage also captured another group of suspected goons receiving instructions a the junction along the Dennis Pritt Road.

Others gathered at Green Park where they also received orders before they headed to the CBD.

This comes hours after Swaleh Sonko, went on his knees to plead with Kenyans to forgive him for leading an attack against Gen Zs during protests.

He stated that he did not want to get into trouble with the Gen Zs.

Swaleh stated that he had been forced to flee Nairobi to his rural home in Homa Bay when the pressure became too much to handle.

The man who christened himself as the leader of the Goon Z stated that Kenyans shouldn't take what he said on social media to heart as he was just a content creator.
