Police in Kisii County are on the search for a machete-wielding gang that was reportedly attacking the youth partaking in the anti-government protests in the region on Wednesday.
Eyewitnesses have stated that the gang members were ravaging in two white Toyota Probox vehicles and a black RAV4.
“We were demonstrating because of the high cost of living and then suddenly out of nowhere, those crooks descended upon us. They were armed with arrows and machetes, “stated an area resident.
Due to those attacks by the gang, several youth are nursing serious injuries in various medical facilities within Kisii.
The protests paralyzed the transport sector in the area as shops remained closed during most of the day.
Many schools were also closed down due to the opposition Azimio-led demonstrations.
