Several people, including People Living with Disabilities (PLWDs), were injured at Nyakeyo Primary School in South Mugirango Constituency, Etago Sub-County, Kisii County, after rival youths clashed during an event.
Sub-County Police Commander Laban Omol reported that the youths, armed with crude weapons, stormed the school where County Woman Representative Dorice Donya Aburi was scheduled to distribute wheelchairs to PLWDs. One person was arrested with arrows and is currently in custody to assist the police with the investigation, while another individual was injured and taken to the hospital.
The suspect will be charged with causing a disturbance.
“The attackers used stones and sticks and pulled down the tents. I cannot confirm the number of those injured.
We are pursuing more suspects,” said Omol
Donya recounted how the goons, armed with stones, sticks, and whistles, invaded the venue and began attacking residents.
She appealed to the police to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice.
The lawmaker, who provided 90 wheelchairs to PLWDs, said she is accustomed to violence but will not be intimidated or deterred from serving the residents of the county.
She added that during the attack, several PLWDs and their caregivers were frightened and fled for safety, with some sustaining injuries.
The MP condemned the attack on PLWDs and urged security officers to ensure that the suspects reveal who hired them to disrupt the event.
“I have more boreholes to launch and wheelchairs to distribute to PLWDs to improve their lives.
Violence will not stop me,” Donya asserted, emphasizing her commitment to serving the residents.
Reuben Migiro, Tabaka Ward Chairman for People Living with Disabilities, also condemned the incident, urging youths to respect PLWDs.
He highlighted the importance of recognizing and respecting PLWDs, stating, “When you attack people living with disabilities, you attract curses. It is not our wish to be disabled.”
This is the third time that the County MP’s meetings have been disrupted by alleged goons.
