Starehe Member of Parliament Charles Njagua was among those injured on Wednesday evening after raucous erupted in CBD between city council askaris and traders of Muthurwa, Marikiti and Wakulima markets.

The MP, who also goes by his stage name Jaguar, suffered a dislocated ankle and was rushed to Nairobi Hospital. Jaguar said that trouble started as county officials moved in on hawkers who had sought refuge at the market.

“The county operators had been looking for hawkers who went to hide in the market. Their arrest of the innocent man led to a deadly confrontation,” Jaguar said.

Adding:

“I came to the rescue of the traders and tried to talk to the officers but little did I know that they had called for reinforcement. They threw tear gas canisters, forcing the people to scamper for safety,” the MP said. “It was during the commotion that there was a stampede.”

He is back with a new song dubbed ”Ndoto”. The song talks about his life journey till where he is today. Speaking to us, Jaguar said that Ndoto aims to be an inspiration to the Kenyan youth who are working hard to achieve their dreams.

Over the past years, Jaguar has been a role model and a major inspiration to the Kenyan youth through his empowerment programs under the Jaguar foundation.

Such positive deeds saw him being appointed as a NACADA director by president Uhuru Kenyatta last year. A position where he proved to deliver his best in the fight against the drug menace in our country.

Now that Jaguar has been elected as the Starehe member of parliament after beating veteran politician Maina Kamanda, flamboyant city businessman Steve Mbogo and activist Boniface Mwangi, he hopes to deliver his best to the people of Starehe.

His closeness to the Nairobi governor Mike Sonko and President Uhuru Kenyatta clearly act as a major boost to his constituency development plan.

When we asked him if he will continue releasing songs after being elected, Jaguar said that Music to him is like a career which he will not abandon any time soon. He said;

“I am in this for the long haul. I ain’t quitting.”
