Police on Saturday stormed a meeting convened by Ford-Kenya leader Moses Wetang’ula at Malava MP Malulu Injendi’s home.
The meeting was organized by the Western leaders to strategize on the political direction the region will take ahead of the 2022 presidential poll.
During the meeting, a contingent of anti-riot officer placed roadblocks along the Kakamega-Malave road cutting off the traffic to the home of MP Malulu Injendi.
The officers were compelled to use teargas canisters to disperse the crowd that was heading the MP’s home.
The Bungoma Senator, Moses Wentang’ula together with a group of other leaders later converged at the Kakamega Sports Club after attending the burial of Luanda MP Christopher Omulele’s mother.
According to the Western Regional Police Commander Peris Kimani said the purported meeting could not continue because it went against the Covid-19 guidelines put by the Ministry of Health.
