Kisii police probing attack on two journalists

Kisii county police are probing an incident where two journalists were attacked during the chaos that erupted after a lorry killed two people under controversial circumstances.

Chaos erupted in the town after Gusii Institute students took to the streets last week complaining over the lorry which was carrying electric poles that knocked two students.

Nyanza regional coordinator Willy Lugusa has said that police are probing the attack on the two journalists who are based in Kisii.

Lugusa says that the National Police Service does not condone attacks or intimidation of members of the fourth state and will take stern action on whoever committed the act.

The officer has assured that action will be taken after the senior officer assigned to the case completes investigations.

“We can not condone incidents where members of the fourth state are intimidated or harassed by anybody, be they police officers or not...”, Lungusa said.

Speaking today at his office addressing journalists Lungusa affirmed that he is sure the officer assigned to the duty will do a good job and those capable will be brought to book.
