A gang, suspected to be hired goons, on Monday disrupted a press conference called by former Nairobi Central Business District Business Association (NCBDA) Chairman Timothy Muriuki.
Mr Muriuki had called the media to give his stand on the state of Nairobi, which has been beset by many challenges including garbage and floods, at the Hotel Boulevard.

But when he emerged and started his address, two men intercepted him, roughing him up as journalists watched and recorded the drama.
The attackers, who claimed Mr Muriuki was out to tarnish Governor Mike Sonko’s name, first tore his statement into pieces.
They dragged him away by the collar of his coat and forced him out of the hotel’s gate where he was attacked by a mob that was waiting there.
