Muchina, accompanied by officers from the Presidential Special Projects and Creative Economy offices, reported the incident at the Captain Police Patrol Base on Saturday, where it was recorded as malicious damage under OB No. 05/28/06/2026.
According to Muchina, a giant billboard bearing his image was vandalized in Captain Town shortly after the final match of the Kaibaga football tournament at Salient Secondary School grounds.
The incident occurred moments after he left the venue, when sections of the crowd turned rowdy and tore down the structure.
A nearby billboard belonging to his main rival, Sammy Kamau of DCP, was left untouched.
Muchina claimed the perpetrators had been ferried into Captain Town in two lorries, and said their registration numbers had been handed over to the police. Videos of youths pulling down the billboard have since circulated widely on social media.
He said he would formally notify the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to enable the electoral body to intervene and prevent further escalation of campaign-related violence ahead of the July 16 poll.
Muchina appealed to his rivals and their supporters to uphold peaceful campaigns, noting that while the election would come and go, residents would continue living together in Ol Kalou.
He said similar tournaments held across the constituency’s other four wards had concluded without incident, making the Captain Town episode an isolated but concerning development.
The vandalism has heightened fears that, unless addressed promptly by the relevant authorities, the largely peaceful campaign period could degenerate into violence.
Efforts to obtain a response from the opposing side were unsuccessful by the time of publication.
