Mulheres lideram gangues de criminosos em confrontos políticos em Kisii

Seis mulheres e um homem foram presos após um ataque a um comboio político em Keumbu.

O ataque ocorreu na última sexta-feira na área de Nyaribari Chache. O episódio resultou em uma morte, ferimentos em várias outras pessoas e danos a veículos, incluindo um que transportava o ex-presidente da Suprema Corte, David Maraga. As prisões provocaram um debate sobre o grupo Ebirongo, que atua na região. O grupo começou como uma equipe de mobilização de jovens, mas agora inclui mulheres. Uma mulher de 31 anos afirmou que entrou para o Ebirongo em janeiro deste ano e recebia Sh1.000 por dia. Outras mulheres citaram dificuldades financeiras e o desemprego como razões para se juntarem ao grupo.
