An assistant chief in Kasipul has been suspended from Public Service after two people died and several were injured in clashes between rival political factions at his home on November 6, ahead of the November 27 parliamentary by-election. The official is under investigation for his alleged involvement in the violence and for hosting political meetings.

• Two people were killed and several injured during a clash between supporters of ODM’s Boyd Were and independent candidate Philip Aroko.
• The assistant chief had reportedly hosted both factions at his home, with conflicting reports suggesting he was either brokering peace or allied with one candidate.
• Daniel Muhuhi, the Rachuonyo South Sub-County DCI boss, and several other officers were injured on November 13 while attempting to arrest suspects linked to the killings.
