Setting the tone for 2027: Shortly after his release, Jimmy Wanjigi delivered a message to Ruto
Tycoon Jimmy Wanjigi is back in the headlines, not only for his recent arrest and release on cash bail but also for the message he delivered to Kenyan President William Ruto.
Speaking to the press outside the court earlier today, Wanjigi expressed gratitude to his family for their support during the ordeal with the police. He then addressed President Ruto directly, challenging him to confront him on the political stage instead of targeting his family.

“I want to address William Ruto. The courts today have upheld the constitution, yet you seem to be stuck in a bygone era. William Ruto, why do you fear me? If you’re truly a man, face me properly on the political field, not by terrorizing my family or through the courts. You are afraid because we are redefining the politics of this nation,” Wanjigi stated.
He concluded by asserting that he remains undeterred and should be met on the political battlefield.
Currently, Jimmy Wanjigi has been released on a personal bond of Ksh10 million after being arrested and detained at Kamukunji Police Station on Monday. He appeared in court on Tuesday, where he was ordered to surrender his passport pending a ruling scheduled for September 12 on whether he will enter a plea.
