Hours after angry youths carrying the body of the slain teacher and social media activist Albert Ojwang set ablaze sections of the Mawego police station, Homa Bay MP Peter Kaluma has defended local youths, distancing them from the event.
Taking to his X account on Thursday evening, the vocal lawmaker attributed the incident to purported goons hired from Nairobi. "The goons who have burnt Mawego Police Station were ferried from Nairobi," Kaluma alleged.
Kaluma strongly defended students from Mawego National Polytechnic and the wider Homa Bay community, insisting they had no role in the destruction of the police station.
