Molo MP Kimani Kuria has forgiven hooligans who invaded his home in Elburgon, Nakuru County, looted properties and set his chicken firm and car on fire.

Kimani who was in the area for a development forum asked the DCI to set free all suspects.

"I have forgiven all those who invaded my home, looted and destroyed my property including my farm," he said.

"I ask @DCI_Kenya and the police to withdraw charges against all the youth that were arrested and charged. Let them be released so that they can get back to work."

Kimani however warned the residents not to commit such a crime again.

"We must agree that making a mistake once is forgivable but not for a second time. However much we are harangued, we should not reach that level," he said.

Last month, the demonstrations took a destructive turn, leading to the vandalism of MP Kimani's home.

Irate demonstrators breached the perimeter wall surrounding the MP's house, burnt and destroyed cars even as others looted valuables.

Some of those who invaded the home walked away with animals too.

In response, church leaders from different Molo denominations came together days later to offer spiritual cleansing at home.

The ceremony, held in the courtyard of Kimani's home, was marked by prayers and hymns.

The MP is the chair of the National Assembly Finance Committee that considered the Finance Bill.

He was on the frontline in advocating for the Bill even as Kenyans expressed opposition against it.
