Police officers were on Friday caught up in running battles with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) officials in Masimba ward, Kisii county.
According to Sonko News reporters in Kisii county, the police officers were determined to block attempts by UDA party officials from opening a party office in kisii.
As a result, the move saw angry UDA supporters engage in protests to register their displeasure.
At the same time, it is not clear what led to the melee between the two sides with some alleging that they were contravening the laid down covid-19 containment measures by the ministry of health.
In the meantime, United Democratic Alliance (UDA) is set to open a diaspora office in the United States of America.
In a poster seen by PD Digital, the chief guest during the grand opening of the USA office will be Murang’a Senator Irungu Kangata.
“I am greatly honoured to be Chief Guest for the official launch of UDA Diaspora Office in Seattle USA Washington state 1648 310th Street Federal Way Washington 98003 6pm 18th June 2021. All are invited,” Kangata posted on his official Twitter account.
As reported by the People Daily Newspaper, the opening of the diaspora office came barely two months after DP Ruto held a virtual meeting with Kenyans in the diaspora.
The DP sold his agenda ahead of 2022 elections in the virtual conversation with more than 50 diasporans.
Ruto said the government recognises the critical and huge contribution that Kenyans in the Diaspora make in the development of Kenya.
“On this account, we have begun a clear, inclusive and structured engagement with them to concretise and prosecute our broad and solid plans that will make Kenya a better and fairer country for everyone,” he said.
He added: “We will open a platform for everyone in the diaspora to join the conversation.”
