Jaguar led Kamukunji residents together with other leaders in demonstrating against the foreigners. He said he was giving a 24hour ultimatum to the government to act failure to which he will lead the deportation exercise.
“If there are competitions from the Chinese nationals, then there will be no business for you people. Recently we witnessed Matiang’i claiming he had only deported only six Chinese nationals yet we have hundreds in here. We are giving the government 24-hour ultimatum to deport them failure to which I will lead the locals in storming their shops and ejecting them” threatened Jaguar.
