Goons Attack Kisumu Church Hosting Opposition Leaders - July 2026

Goons armed with bows, arrows, and machetes attempted to storm St. Stephen's ACK Cathedral in Kisumu on Sunday while prominent leaders were attending a church service. One person sustained injuries during the attempted disruption, with police intervening to prevent the youths from entering the cathedral. The incident occurred as leaders Orengo and Sifuna were present at the church service. In a separate development in Nyahururu, Kang'ata's driver was shot by goons amidst a rally, highlighting escalating political violence during campaign periods. Kenyans have expressed fear that the Ol-Kalou by-elections might feature a wave of brutality, with DCP leaders complaining about fines imposed on MP Wanjiku Muhia by IEBC.
