Why CCTV is trending on Twitter

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is currently trending on Twitter. 

This is after a section of Kenyans on Twitter demanded CCTV footages from former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i home to prove that in deed, police surrounded the premises on Wednesday night. 

"We want receipts," Omoke tweeted. 

Blogger Cyprian Nyakundi also questioned the raid saying no photos and or videos have so far been availed to indicate the raid happened. 

"Isn't it strange that there are no photos or videos of the raid at Matiangi's home (Even his CCTV) and DCI, EACC and the Police have all denied raiding him? There are two possibilities: 1. The whole thing was stage-managed 2. The government has a ghost police wing," he tweeted. 

Outspoken Lawyer AhmedNassir Abdulahi also asked for videos from the CCTV cameras and a battery of lawyers that were allegedly at Matiang'i's home. 

"Where are the videos from the CCTV cameras and the battery of lawyers on the scene? Fred should relax until EACC invites him and offers him Fanta and cake!" he tweeted 

On Wednesday night, Matiang'i's home was allegedly raided by police, an incident that saw ODM Leader Raila Odinga, and his lawyers Danstan Omari and Sam Nyaberi address the media in Karen. 

"We are ready and willing to present Matiang'i to any police station in this country. He is not avoiding any rule of law, that is if he has committed any offence," Omari said.

On Thursday, Inspector General of police Japhet Koome denied claims his officers went to Matiangí’s house. 

He said he had checked and found no such operation was sanctioned if any.

“There is no officer under the National Police Service who was at the former CS home. We have checked and I can confirm that,” he said.

Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission Chief Executive Officer Twalib Mbarak also denied his officers were involved in the said attempted raid.

“We are not aware. Those, if any, are not EACC officers. We have nothing against him,” he said.
