"Ata akijificha kwa watu wa Azimio, we will smoke them out. That gang will not be allowed anywhere."

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has fired a warning over the revival of the Mungiki criminal gang.

In a message on Monday morning, Gachagua in a direct attack on former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga said the government will not allow criminal elements in the country.

He said there were plans to revive the criminal gang lately but the government responded swiftly and contained the situation.

"Kuna kile kikundi haramu kilisumbua sisi wakati wa Michuki.Hivi karibuni walijaribu kurudi. Ule kiongozi yao ndo  alikua ameshikana na hii watu wa Azimio wakitaka kutumia hii vijana kwa watu kwa maandamano. Sisi tuliwaambia hawa vijana wasikubali mtu yeyote kufungua hiyo kikundi," Gachagua said whle addressing a group of boda boda operators in Nyandarua on Monday.

John Michuki is a powerful security minister who dealt with Mungiki decisively and is credited with making major milestones in taming the group.

Gachagua went on to urge the boda boda operators to shun criminal activities asking the group to police themselves and ensure those taking part in illegal activity are weeded out.

He said they will remain firm as a government and will not allow Mungiki resurgence not only in Mt Kenya but the whole of the country.

"We can't allow that. And we want to say this government cannot allow the revival of that criminal gang. And their leader should know that. Ata akijificha kwa watu wa Azimio, we will smoke them out. That gang will not be allowed anywhere."
