Robert Alai: My Life is in Danger, Assassins Have Been Sent to Kill Me

If you’re as radical as Robert Alai then you’re certain you will ruffle a lot of feathers whenever you open your mouth/ or write. And ruffling feathers Alai has: from the altercations with Alfred Mutua, Safaricom, Francis Kimemia and William Oduol, just to name a few, the blogger certainly is not a darling to everyone.

Being the big critic he is, Alai seems to have hit out at a powerful politician who decided not to take it lying down; he retaliated. The unnamed political figure allegedly sent hit men to his rural home to do what they do best.

In a Facebook post, Alai revealed that his life is in danger;

“Assassins have been sent to my rural home to look for me. Seems like county leaders who fear criticism now want to intimidate me. The truth hurts. Seems like they really hate the truth.”

He further tweeted that this is not the first time that he has been ‘intimated’;

“4 months ago they broke my fingers. Then last month they cut my ears. Now they have come with guns. That’s Kenyan politicians”
