Meru County

The Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (Kewopa) has strongly condemned the gang assault on a woman in Laare, Meru, and demanded swift justice. Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has pledged to cover her medical bills and offered a Ksh300,000 reward for information leading to arrests. The incident occurred on December 1, 2025, during a circumcision procession, with nine suspects now in custody.
