Muriuki was on Monday, 30 April roughed up by a number of goons who said that he was out to tarnish Nairobi Governor, Mike Sonko’s name.
On Saturday, police released pictures of the six goons, offering a cash reward of Sh500,000 for each for anyone with information that could lead to their arrest.
A section of city MCAs said that Mbugua was running the show at City Hall after Polycarp Igathe quit, something that he and Sonko denied.
