It is hard to separate Monday's raids on former President Uhuru Kenyatta's family land from the brazen threats to do exactly that by Kenya government and ruling party officials and MPs, and the absence of police when hundreds of livestock were stolen and property destroyed.

Majority Leader Kimani Ichungwa expressly threatened Uhuru Kenyatta with raids on his farms for allegedly sponsoring Kenya's #Demonstrations , without giving proof.

Police have been present at the other protest spots, arresting people, threatening journalists and even shooting at least one dead. Not at Northlands, where active crime was also happening. Raiders didn't even bother to call themselves 'demonstrators'.

Raila Odinga's Spectre has also been attacked. The Ruling Party UDA's Secretary General had said they would deal with Raila 'once and for all" . He went as far as suggesting "we have planned something with govt, on Monday"

And here is a Kenya government minister, Moses Kuria, sharing a cryptic message often associated with ownership of prime land, hours after the invasion of Northlands, some of which is now being illegally shared out by the occupiers.

If the state wasn't behind the raid, the rhetoric suggests some officials may at least been made aware about it. Valid questions about whether someone in power in fact planned it. Because some are certainly enjoying it.
