Most residents in Central region fret at the thought that proscribed mungiki sect could be resurrecting.

Specifically, traders evoking past atrocities committed by the outlaws pray that the resurgence is just bad dream.

Their fears are grounded on unfolding events in which the sect seem to be rearing its ugly head amid the changing fortunes of Njenga after he threw his weight behind President William Ruto.

In Kiambu and Murang'a counties, some of the matatu operators and owners interviewed by The Standard sounded the alarm, decrying how the sect has started extorting from them.
