A wave of political violence has plunged Kisii County into anxiety. Ichuni Ward Representative Wyckliffe Siocha is fighting for his life in the hospital after he was accosted on Thursday by assailants believed to be associated with a senior politician.

According to witnesses, Siocha had taken his car to a garage near Gusii Stadium for servicing and was waiting for the work to be completed when the goons descended on him, raining blows and kicks.

"It appeared that the goons, numbering around 10, had been trailing the MCA because they appeared shortly after he arrived and immediately swung into action, unleashing terror not only on him but also on anyone who was near him," a witness said.
