Kidero and Khalwale supporters battle it out in court

Shots were fired and teargas canisters lobed as supporters of Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero and Kakamega Senator Bonny Khalwale clashed outside the Milimani law courts today.

The Nairobi governor has sued Senator Bonny Khalwale for linking him to the collapse of Mumias Sugar Company. The two groups had to be separated by law enforcers as tension rose outside the Milimani law courts.

The Kakamega Senator linked the governor to the Mumias Sugar Company scam during President Uhuru Kenyatta’s visit to Bungoma County. The governor claims Dr Khalwale remarks were “slanderous” and is aggrieved that the financial problems that bedeviled the company have been associated with his name.

Senator Khalwale was forced to hide in a public toilet on Thursday to escape attacks by rowdy youths who thronged the Milimani Law Courts.
