"The attackers accosted the site workers, robbed them of personal effects and assaulted the building still under construction with detonators causing three holes. Police have visited the scene and commenced investigations."
The police welcomed members of the public with any information to assist with the investigation.
This comes after the activist took to social media on the night of Wednesday, October 20, to accuse Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua of deploying state operatives to bomb his house.
The house was under construction in Lukenya, Machakos County.
The activist noted that he is “hurting” since his family had invested massive resources in the project.
"The state working for @DrAlfredMutua have bombed my family home in Lukenya, Machakos county, and robbed my employees. They realised hashtags can't scare me and they're now using explosives. I still don't fear because the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, He shall protect me," he tweeted.
