Chinese Nationals Arrested in Nairobi with Items Feared to Be a 'Threat to National Security’

Officers from the Kenyan Immigration Department on Friday arrested five Chinese nationals in Nairobi.

In a statement, the Immigration Department said the five foreigners were in possession of items feared to be a threat to national security.

“5 Chinese nationals arrested in Lavington with a number of items recovered that are believed to be a threat to our National Security,” the Immigration Department said.

The immigrants are said to have been running an unlicensed security company in Nairobi's Lavington area.

“They will be detained for sometime as the investigating agencies do further investigations,” the Immigration Department said on Twitter.

Among items discovered during the raid of the firm are teargas canisters, laptops and uniforms.

Serikali ya Uhuru imelala. Uvamizi ilianza. Jihadharini ukoloni wa China. How is Kenya issuing entry visas without venting the applicants from this country. Every week there is some major problem uncovered. Something is very wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very soon China will call in their debts and Kenya will be unable to pay it. Be very careful how you deal with China. She is insatiable. She is coming. Everyone should take notice.

Eti ‘threat to national security’ hehehe. What about their infestation of Kenya already?not to mention the loans. I guess turning Kenya over to the dog eaters is not a threat

The government needs to trace back how these Chinese people are vetted before getting to the country. At this rate I doubt we need them for tourism. The Chinese have their own hotels in Kenya where their country people go and who knows what is consumed there? Our elephants and lions and rhinos with all tusks being shipped via SGR to the would-be Chinese port- Mombasa. Matiangi has been busy with Nigerians while Chads been busy spreading counterfeit money without anyone looking. No wonder Chinese have infiltrated the country to a point our DNA is at risk.

How come these Chinese are able to come to Kenya to do hawking of small wares on the streets? If that is what our government is allowing, soon Kenya will be overrun by just a quarter percent of Chinese who are looking to survive . They do so by killing the competition and selling stuff that is not checked for health issues. The medicine, the kids toys , are of low quality contaminated with lead and who knows what. All these bad rice and toys would not be brought to Kenya if the government and Kenya Bureau of Standards and the corruption at the ports was remove. The government keeps on switching one thief from the coast with another from Nairobi. One thief from one ministry is switched with another in another ministry. A probe in stolen funds is made worse by creating another useless committee to investigate , which ends up stealing from the investigation.

It’s troubling when they buy all the commercial real estate like stores. Once they control that part of the real estate, the locals are shut out. And they culturally appropriate. I mean, try going to a Japanese restaurant and it’s run by Chinese. I want to meet Japanese people and talk about their country.

Soo, these are the expatriates from China really? If China is hacking the USA election and technology, God help Kenya from the Chinese

The people who insistently voted for this government Knew EXACTLY what we were getting- A RAW DEAL!!! Now look at the effects. And the same mistakes will be repeated come 2020 no doubt! Look at the bigger picture Wakenya wenzangu. When we let the county go to the dogs just because they come from our tribe(and this goes out to all Kenyans no matter your tribe) We Fail. Very many made the trip back home to go and vote in looters, corrupt leaders, leaders who follow cooperations' interests and not the Mwananchi's interests. Look at our maize and Sugar farmers, insecurity! Leaders being comfortable making deals with importers, severely crushing the local economy, for a small bribe. To what end? The money we invest back home, will it ever amount to anything with the skyrocketing economy in Kenya, without mentioning the security. Yaani mtu utaishi majuu miaka yako yote majuu ukituma pesa halafu uende kusettle Kenya, only to risk losing your life because of jambazi ako nje- inspector of police ni ineffective, barabara ziko mbaya- watu wamekula hongo wamenona, Sukari ina mercury- Wakuu wa idara ama serikali imeagiza sukari kutoka nje, Dawa ni bonoko(Fake)- the pharmaceutical industry has been infiltrated by corruption and bogus unqualified individuals who actually substitute the real medicine for fake medicine or sometimes candy, the educational system is very low- unmotivated teachers etc...etc... The list is endless. My father always says," It's impossibly hard to be a rich man in a poor country." Hauwesmake.Now wachina ndio wanadominate na kugonga vichwa vya habari. Hello, these people ain't going nowhere. Yule aliwafungulia milango atajua hajui. Wakenya chanukeni! No matter who you are or where you come from. Plan to take all these leaders home- Uhuru,Raila,Ruto, Joho, Murkomen, Matiang'i, Waiguru, Ababu, Kalonzo, Musalia.....na kadhalika. Sadisheni County, Constituency, Wards etc. Toeni hao MCAs kelele tu. Pelekeni wote nyumbani. Let's reclaim our country.
