On Monday, October 13, hundreds of Kirinyaga residents protested against former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, lighting bonfires and voicing support for Governor Anne Waiguru. In Garissa, learning was paralyzed as hundreds of teachers and boda boda operators protested the fatal stabbing of a 27-year-old lecturer. In Taita Taveta County, over 300 residents are protesting unlawful evictions from a 1000-acre land parcel and the issuance of defective title deeds.
