Gunshots as Governor Ayacko & MP Nyamita Clash at a Funeral, Several Injured: Several people were on Saturday injured at a burial in Rapogi, Migori County after clashes erupted between two rival political groups.
The fight started after the two groups, one supporting Migori Governor Ochilo Ayacko and the other with Uriri Member of Parliament Mark Nyamita failed to come into an agreement.
Among those injured during the violence included a nine-year-old boy who was part of the congregation that attended the funeral.
Governor Ayacko has spoken to the media saying the clashes were fueled by Uriri MP Mark Nyamita.
He stated,” I want to condemn those shameless politicians who think that politics should be that of violence and that the police should be part of their local goons. We can not be intimidated by anybody, we are only intimidated by the fact that we have to be orderly people.
On his part, MP Nyamita has accused Governor Ayacko of instigating the fight by pooling his security team to stage violence against him.
According to Nyamita, the security team of the governor, not only shot at him but also at the police vehicle with the MP further claiming the gunshots almost injured a police officer
