The Kigeugeu hitmaker, while addressing traders along Kirinyaga road said,

If you assess our markets, Ugandans and Tanzanians have taken over our businesses… Now we are saying enough is enough. If a 24-hour ultimatum is not enough for them to be deported, we will remove them and we’ll beat them up and we will not fear anyone.

After his arrest, he came out to defend himself and he tweeted,

My sentiments echoed yesterday with a directive to C.S Matiang’i was meant for the Chinese who have invaded our markets making businesses almost unbearable bearing for our citizens. I am not against any regional unions that are meant to promote both local and regional trade.

Jaguar's remarks have not only divided MPs but also Kenyans. Quite a number of celebrities have supported Jaguar while others lashed out at him for being reckless.

Below are comments from Kenyan celebrities and fans;

niitefinest We need a Kenyan Donald Trump to save us from skewed trade relations with Tanzania. It does not make sense to trade with a partner who treats you like trash.
