Churchill Show comedian Jasper Muthomi, popularly known as MC Jessy, has raised concern after receiving notices from the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS).

The first notice was sent to Jessy’s mobile phone alerting him that his car had been spotted parked in the Nairobi CBD and was required to pay the required parking fees.

The comedian was given a 30-minute ultimatum to pay the money or risk severe action.

After the lapse of 30 minutes, he received another alert claiming that he had been penalised for the offence.

“Dear motorist, Car Reg No. K** **** has not paid for parking and has been penalized Clamping Fees KES 2000.00. Pay KES 2200.00 to avoid Further Penalties,” the message read.

Jessy was puzzled at the developments, stating that he had not parked in Nairobi CBD nor was he within the city.

“How is this possible? I received a message that I am parked at Nairobi CBD While I was out of town? How is this possible? I was not in Nairobi! Who’s playing games with NMS Data?” he wondered.

The comedian suspected that there could have been a data breach/mix up at NMS which caused the erroneous alerts.

A spot by Kenyans.co.ke found that other motorists have reported similar mix-ups.

Hours before, Judah Nzangi complained that he received a notice to pay a penalty of Ksh 2,000 for defaulting parking fees in Nairobi yet his car was in Machakos.

“Why haven’t they included a photo element to the reporting system? That way parking attendants can’t raise fake parking fines. My car was home and they claimed I was in an industrial area. I have proof,” Keith Ayodo.

One Ahmed wondered whether those affected were victims of duplicated number plates. :D:D:D

The vehicles were seized while on a campaign trail in Kathiani constituency for Maendeleo Chap Chap candidate John Katuku who is vying for the Machakos senatorial by election.

The county government vehicles reportedly belonging to Machakos governor Alfred Mutua were detained at Machakos police station. The drivers were, however, released.

A section of politicians took to the police station to demand the officers to take action against the people in question. Among the politicians included GDDP party candidate for the Machakos senatorial mini poll, Simon Kitheka, his supporters and other Wiper leaders. Machakos OCPD Moss Ndiwa, however, stated that their hands were tied regarding the matter.

“Our role in such a situation when the unit impounds government vehicles is only to detain them for some time,” Ndiwa stated.

The politicians, however, seemed not to be deterred and sought for those culpable to be dealt with accordingly.

“We shall also petition the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to take appropriate action against the particular candidate for flouting election law," Kitheka stated.

Governor Mutua, however, speaking to this writer, noted that the claims were only propaganda. The reports come after the race for the Machakos Senatorial by-election heats up.

The IEBC had revealed 11 candidates cleared for the race slated for March 18, 2021. The candidates included John Mutua Katuku (Maendeleo Chap Chap Party), Stanley Masai Muindi (Party of Economic Democracy), Lily Nduku Nwanzia of Chama Cha Uzalendo became the first female candidate to be cleared, and Jonathan Makenzi Maweu (Independent Candidate).

Other aspirants include Ngengele Urbanus Mutunga Muthama of United Democratic Alliance party, Munyambu Francis Musembi (Independent), Nthama Sebastian Nzau (Independent), Kitheka Simeon Kioko (Grand Dream Development Party), Musingi John Kioko (Muungano Party), Otto Edward Musembi Nthenge of FORD-ASILI.

Recently, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) in a turnaround, announced that it would back the Wiper candidate Kavindu for the Mini poll.

The race is however seen as a showdown between ex-Senator Johnson Muthama and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
