On Friday gangs razed down houses and businesses worth millions.

Houses and shops including butcheries, hotels and salons at the junction of 56 and 46 routes (Kawangware) were broken into after two groups believed to supporters of Jubilee and Nasa clashed.

Anti-riot police were called to the scene to disperse the protesters. Firefighters also had a hard time containing the huge fire.

Well, a Facebook user by the name Christine Wangechi Thumbi is among the Kawangware residents counting losses of unknown value.

According to Christine Wangechi, her family's house was razed down leaving them homeless.

She has written an open letter to Nasa leader Raila Odinga narrating the bad encounter with his supporters in Kawangware. Here is Christine Wangechi's letter, go through;

"Dear 'Honorable' Raila Odinga", Hon. Simba Arati, my comrade Babu Owino and all my NASA people, My home is no more. You have brought a whole country down to its knees. you have robbed ME of my home. You have robbed good citizens of their investments that took a lifetime to build. Mass action? Are you ducking kidding me?

Your hooligan cult of followers cause strife and anguish and destruction in your wake. We did nothing wrong to you. I did nothing wrong to you, but in your question for a vendetta.. A personal one. I may add... You have cost my mother, my grandma EVERYTHING. I am not a judge. I am not God.... But I think I am right in assuming that there is a very special place in hell for you. I pray you burn. Sincerely, Someone you took everything away from."
