Goons Paid Sh4,000 Each to Disrupt Homa Bay Rally
Violence marred the Linda Mwananchi rally in Homa Bay on Sunday, with reports indicating that hired goons were paid up to Sh4,000 each to disrupt the event and attack participants. Tragic violence erupted with at least two individuals losing their lives and 54 others sustaining injuries. The chaos resulted in destruction of property worth millions of shillings, affecting vehicles, a church, and a hotel. The National Cohesion and Integration Commission summoned Homa Bay town MP Peter Kaluma following inflammatory remarks allegedly made on August 15, 2026, believed to have incited the violence. Meanwhile, former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i criticized Deputy President William Ruto, accusing him of orchestrating the political violence. Residents are demanding the resignation of Governor Gladys Wanga following the widespread chaos, while questions remain as to why alleged financiers of the perpetrators appear to be evading justice. Two journalists narrowly escaped a dangerous encounter when their vehicle was ambushed and they were robbed of their belongings.
