CCTV footage shows a coordinated attack on a budget dialogue at All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi.

📻 Breaking It Down

NAIROBI, Kenya, Jun 14— At exactly 9.39am, a convoy of motorcycles pulled up outside All Saints Cathedral, one of Nairobi’s most prominent places of worship and a long-standing hub of civic engagement, in full view of cameras.

What followed has triggered serious questions about political violence, state accountability, and the shrinking space for public participation in Kenya.

CCTV footage obtained from the cathedral shows what appears to be a coordinated operation that disrupted a post-budget dialogue attended by lawyers, clergy, civil society activists, governance experts, and members of the public.

The forum was convened to scrutinise the government’s Sh4.84 trillion budget, presented just a day earlier.

Instead, participants were forced to flee for safety as groups of men stormed the cathedral compound.

At the centre of the growing controversy is a critical question: who orchestrated the attack?

Security footage reviewed after the incident suggests the disruption unfolded in two coordinated phases.

The first group of attackers arrived on motorcycles and attempted to force entry into the cathedral shortly after the meeting began. Police officers stationed at the venue initially repelled them.

However, rather than dispersing, the group allegedly moved to nearby streets along Valley Road and Kenyatta Avenue, where witnesses reported harassment and robberies as panic spread.
