Leaders in Migori want the police to crackdown on an outlawed gang called Sangwenya which they claim is a security risk in the county. The leaders linked the gang to chaos witnessed at the Migori county assembly last Friday. Speaking to the Star on Tuesday, several MCAs said the gang has been hampering democratic space in Migori and is being used by certain individuals to intimidate leaders. “'Sangwenya' are youths allied to Migori politicians, gradually they have grown to a dangerous group,” Tagare MCA and Minority leader Nicholas Ngabia said. Migori ODM chairperson Philip Makabong’o said in the 2017 General Election, Migori was rocked by violence especially over the Governor's seat.
