The Linda Mwananchi movement has accused President William Ruto's administration of fostering a 'mafia nation' characterised by violence, intimidation, and a breakdown of law and order, drawing parallels to Kenya's past struggles for democracy.

• Linda Mwananchi claims armed gangs attacked its convoy in Keumbu, Kisii County, on July 3 under police watch.
• The movement cited the deaths of Vincent Osiemo, Esther Wairimu Keige, and Edward Kariuki Muthee as evidence of a deteriorating security situation.
• Linda Mwananchi also alleged the misuse of state resources in the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election and accused the IEBC of pressure to procure a system favouring President Ruto in 2027.
