According to a viral video making rounds on social media, Farouk Kibet is once again on the spotlight after forcefully removing Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi from the red carpet at a public event. The incident was caught on camera and has left many Kenyans angry and asking tough questions about who really controls the government.
In the video, Farouk is seen stepping forward, pointing at CS Mbadi, and giving him direct orders and even assisting him to move away from the red carpet. Mbadi, who had just arrived, appears shocked but quickly obeys. He steps off the red carpet and is even seen hurrying away as if fearing for his safety.
This is not how a Cabinet Secretary should be treated in public.
Mbadi represents a government office, and he deserves respect. But Farouk handled him like a junior staff member or even a trespasser. That’s not leadership it’s intimidation.
Who Gave Farouk All This Power?
Farouk Kibet is not an elected leader. He holds no known public office. But the way he behaves in government events raises serious concerns. Why is he giving orders at state functions? Why is he allowed to decide who walks on the red carpet and who doesn’t?This is a clear abuse of influence. Farouk seems to believe that he is above the law.
He treats senior government officials like schoolchildren. If someone like him can embarrass a Cabinet Secretary in front of cameras, it means he sees himself as untouchable.
Gachagua Was Right?
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has repeatedly warned Kenyans that real power lies in the hands of a few individuals who were never elected. Farouk is always named in those conversations, and now Kenyans have seen the proof.
When a CS runs away just because Farouk tells him to, it means Gachagua was telling the truth. There are people behind the scenes running the show, and Farouk is one of them.
John Mbadi has said nothing about the incident. But his silence says everything. A man who has served in Parliament for years, and now sits in the Cabinet, was scared into silence by someone who doesn’t even hold a job in government.
That’s how deep Farouk’s grip is. If Mbadi can be manhandled like this in public, imagine what happens in private meetings. How many other leaders are being controlled or silenced?
A Dangerous Path for the Country
Letting people like Farouk Kibet act without limits is a serious risk for Kenya. It breaks government order, creates fear, and kills respect for legal offices. Kenya is not a playground for political brokers. It is a country governed by law, not fear. This incident must not be ignored. It is a warning sign that power is being misused right in front of our eyes.
