Maina Njenga, a former Mungiki leader and Amani Sasa Foundation chairman, has made a public comeback after months of staying away from the public eye. Njenga resurfaced on August 22, 2026, at an event in Rongai, participating in a ceremony and seen dancing to Kikuyu traditional hymns. His latest appearance comes after a period of relative silence, with Njenga making only a few public appearances this year.
In April, he was honored with an honorary degree, and he also attended a church function at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC). The return to the public eye follows the termination of Njenga's criminal case involving firearms and related charges in November 2024, which lasted around 18 months and was attributed to political targeting related to his influence in the Mt Kenya region.
