The Law Society of Kenya, Rift Valley Chapter has condemned cases of violence, verbal insults and voter bribery witnessed in the by-elections in Kabuchai, Matungu constituencies and Nakuru's London Ward. Kipkoech said it was wrong for hired goons to attack journalists who were peacefully going about their businesses during the London Ward by-election. The lawyers also offered to give pro-bono services to four journalists injured during the March 4 by-election in the London Ward of Nakuru Town West Sub-County. He noted that the rapid eruption of violence was a frightening indicator that the country was on the brink of collapse. “Matiang’i and Mutyambai should ensure that organisers of the violence seen in the three by-elections are captured and charged with the offences.
