Security personnel have launched investigations into an attempted gun attack on Homa Bay County Deputy Governor (DG) Oyugi Magwanga.

Homa-Bay County Commissioner Moses Lilan said detectives have already visited the scene of fire exchange between gangsters and the DGs security personnel at Kabuor village, East Kamagak ward.

Lilan said the DG had recorded statements with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations and that they were following crucial leads to apprehend the suspects.

He urged members of the public to desist from speculations and unnecessary social media posts which can trigger fear and uncalled for alarm. "I urge members of the public to remain calm as we get to the root of the incident, the county security team is assuring all the residents that their security our top priority." Lilan said.
