Homa Bay Violence: Goons Paid Sh4,000, Property Destroyed

Violence erupted during a Linda Mwananchi rally in Homa Bay on Sunday, with hired goons reportedly paid up to Sh4,000 each to disrupt the event. The violence resulted in the destruction of property worth millions of shillings, affecting vehicles, a church, and a hotel. The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has summoned Homa Bay town MP Peter Kaluma over alleged inflammatory remarks believed to have incited the violence. The incident has reignited old political rivalries in Luo Nyanza, reminiscent of the power struggles that followed the death of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.
