Two brothers related to Nyamira First Lady Naomi Nyagarama descended on a security officer on Friday as workers watched helplessly from a distance.
Mr Tom Mayaka found himself on the receiving end when he tried to block Hillary Obutu and his brother, Kiage Obutu from accessing one of the offices, citing protocol issues.
But the scene turned ugly when the two descended on the officer, injuring him severely before Governor Nyagarama's son, Momanyi Nyagarama came into his rescue.
"This was uncalled for. It's bad to fight are county government officers with such impunity. In future, we will not tolerate such acts," said Kefa Sagwe, they Deputy Chief of Staff.
Preliminary reports indicate that the two had stormed in one of the offices, demanding to be attended to, arguing that they have all the privileges.
But in a lengthy phone call, Mr Kiage Obutu denied beating Mr Mayaka, adding that he only acted to save his brother from hostility waged by security officers.
"We didn't fight him. It was just a defense of what they had started. It's wrong to drag us to such innuendos," he argued.
Alex Mumbo, the OCS of Nyamira, confirmed the incident and said investigations were underway to establish the motive behind the attack.
