Leaders from Mbeere South Constituency, Embu County, have condemned destruction of property and disruption of businesses that took place during demonstrations on Thursday at Kiritiri Town.

The demos were organised by traders who were protesting what they termed as unfulfilled promises by the County Government in terms of development projects.

They argued that they have been discriminated against by Governor Cecily Mbarire-led administration in matters of development yet they generate a huge chunk of revenue for the county.

What started as peaceful demonstrations, turned chaotic prompting anti-riot police to step in to restore order, but were overwhelmed leading to destruction of property including constituency NG-CDF offices and Land Cruiser that were pelted with stones.
