The attackers, however, claimed Muriuki was a conman hired to tarnish Governor Mike Sonko's name.
They roughed him up, tore his statement and dragged him away by the collar of his coat shortly after he started speaking.
One was heard saying: "Tunakujua. Hatutakuwacha uharibu jina ya Gavana. Haitawezekana (We know you. We won't let you tarnish the Governor's name. That is impossible)."
The goons forced the chairman out of the hotel's gate where he was attacked by more people who had been waiting there.
They tore his coat, punched and kicked him, forcing him to run to Norfolk Towers for safety.
