Saturday,
July 4, 2026 - Scores of people were injured after suspected
hired goons blocked the Linda Mwananchi convoy at Keumbu in Kisii County, hurling
stones and throwing sticks at the motorcade.
A video circulating online shows police officers standing in
close proximity to the attackers without intervening, even as leaders and
supporters in the convoy came under sustained attack.
Several vehicles in the convoy were reportedly damaged
during the chaos, while a number of those travelling with the leaders sustained
injuries as they tried to flee the attack.
Siaya Governor James Orengo condemned the attack and accused
the police of escorting the goons who staged it.
He also thanked the people for standing with the Linda
Mwananchi movement.
Moments before the attack, Governor Orengo had warned his
Kisii counterpart, Simba Arati, against instigating chaos in the county.
He told Arati that he and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino would
face him head-on.
