The acting head of inspectorate at the Kisumu County Government Willy Lugusa has resigned following an incident in which the local askaris assaulted and dragged a female hawker on the road in a bizarre drama. I hereby extend my deepest regret to all the people of Kisumu County and the nation as a whole for this is not what the county government of Kisumu represents,” he said in the letter. Nine askaris suspected to have been behind the assault were arraigned at the Kisumu Law Courts on Friday where they denied the charges and freed on Sh50,000 cash bail each. Behind in pursuit were boda boda riders who were hooting in protest of the act. The Governor stated all County enforcement officers must carry out their duties while fully respecting the human rights of wananchi.
