Political Context: Wanjigi, a vocal critic of President William Ruto’s administration, accused the president of orchestrating these threats against him.
He vowed to continue advocating for better governance and stated,
Oppressing us is not going to help you. We are not going to allow William Ruto to threaten us. William Ruto wants to take away our freedom. Your days are numbered. You have lost legitimacy. On 25th June 2024, Kenyans cast a clear vote of no confidence in Ruto’s government,

Wanjigi’s claims come amidst heightened political tensions in Kenya. He has been an outspoken figure against the Kenya Kwanza Alliance government and has faced scrutiny from law enforcement agencies.
Recently, police raided his home in what he described as an attempt to intimidate him due to his political activities.
He has previously alleged that police have targeted him for participating in protests and supporting movements critical of the government.
His son, Maina Wanjigi, echoed these sentiments, suggesting that their family has become accustomed to police harassment due to Jimi’s political stance.
