Murang'a Governor Irungu Kang'ata has pledged to support the family of deceased Nairobi hawker Boniface Kariuki, who passed away weeks after being shot by the police.
Kang'ata, who spoke on Tuesday morning, said his administration had already extended assistance to Kariuki during his hospitalisation and would continue to support the latter's family.
While expressing his condolences over the deceased's demise, the governor also condemned the excessive use of force by the police officers during the recent protests.
Kang'ata, who expressed his frustrations over Kariuki's death, called on the government to expedite investigations and ensure that Boniface gets justice.
