Taking to her social media platforms, the former nominated senator accused Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaj of instigating the closure.
According to Omanga, the decision to shut down her businesses was prompted by her recent social media sentiments where she took a swipe at Sakaja.
“This illegal and unjustified action follows my comment on the Auditor General’s report on Nairobi County, which appears to have infuriated him,” Omanga claimed.
Omanga who termed the move as bullying claimed the act was politically orchestrated. She also vowed to not bow down to such intimidation.
“I remain steadfast and unbowed and affirm that I’ll not be silenced by such cowardly acts,” Omanga wrote.
Omanga’s outcry comes days after she hit out at Governor Sakaja where she claimed the Governor mismanagement County Funds.
The former legislator was referencing the Auditor General’s report, which alleged irregularities in the county’s financial management.
“I’m utterly disgusted by the wanton looting and pilfering of Nairobi County finances through exorbitant legal fees paid to lawyers as contained in the latest Auditor-General’s report,” Omanga alleged.
“We were told, “Let’s Make Nairobi Work”! Is this the way to do it? Nairobi deserves better,” she added.
