Several people were injured Friday afternoon when rowdy youths are reported to have ‘attacked’ the convoy of Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala.
Witnesses said a group of rowdy youths waylaid the senator at Mayoni area while coming from the opening ceremony of Fafa Medical School in Matungu and started stoning his convoy.
The daring youths forced his security detail to draw guns and shoot in the air.
Things got worse when the politician’s supporters retaliated leading to a clash.
Windows of several cars were smashed and the hooligans pelted each other with stones.
Mumias police boss confirmed the incident and said investigations are ongoing.
Prior to the incident, Malala had made an explosive address at the function where he accused Sports CS Rashid Achesa of allegedly funding demos with calls to revive mumias sugar industry.
Malala said Achesa should lobby for the same using his position as a Cabinet Secretary instead of ‘funding’ protests.
