Business was brought to a standstill in Karatina Town, Nyeri County, as residents took to the streets to protest against what they termed harassment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua by the Kenya Kwanza administration.
In a video seen by Kenyans.co.ke on Tuesday, May 20, circulating on social media, the demonstrators were seen blocking roads with stones and burning tyres, as they caused major traffic disruptions in the town.
The protestors clashed with the police officers as they tried to intervene, before dispersing them. The protests came after Gachagua's recent allegations that he is under constant surveillance by state agents.
