@IEBCKenya and @SpeakerJBMuturi should take action against this goons. Political violence is a crime in Kenya. These ODM sycophants have often used words and actions that breed chaos but it seems @dkmaraga and his judiciary are bent to protecting them.— Andrew Njeri (Captain) (@TrumpetOfHope) November 8, 2019
Kenyans on social media have indicted Simba Arati following his order for the dismissal of a colleague by the rowdy youths.
The Kibera by-elections were marked by several vicious scenes. During the campaigns, a white car from Imran Okoth`s convoy ran over a man who later succumbed to injuries.
