In a strongly worded statement shared online, Karua said the manner in which the eviction attempt was carried out was unlawful and troubling.
She argued that evicting someone from their home without proper legal procedures undermines the country’s justice system.
“This is pure thuggery by people in power,” Karua said. “You cannot evict someone without a court order.
And even when there is a court order, it can only be carried out during working hours by court-appointed bailiffs, not by people behaving like thugs.”
Karua warned that actions like these create a dangerous precedent where the law is ignored and replaced by what she called the “rule of the jungle.”
According to her, Kenya is guided by the Constitution and legal procedures that must be respected by everyone, including those in positions of authority.
She also called on several government institutions to explain what happened and ensure accountability.
Among those she addressed were Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, the National Police Service, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Office of the Attorney General, and the Judiciary of Kenya.
Karua said these institutions have a responsibility to protect the law and ensure that no citizen is treated unfairly regardless of political or personal differences.
Tuju, who has been involved in a long-running legal dispute over the Karen property, said the officers who arrived at his home appeared uneasy about the situation.
He claimed they privately admitted that the orders to remove him came from powerful figures and that refusing to comply could cost them their jobs.
The former Cabinet Secretary expressed concern about what he described as intimidation and misuse of state agencies.
He said the incident raised serious questions about whether the law is being followed in disputes involving influential individuals.
The incident has sparked debate among Kenyans online, with many questioning why such an operation would be conducted in the middle of the night.
Legal experts and observers have also pointed out that eviction processes are normally carried out during the day and under the supervision of court-appointed officers.
