Nakuru, Kenya: Nakuru town east MP David Gikaria is nursing back-injuries after he was assaulted by police officers deployed to oversee the eviction of hawkers from the streets in the town's Central Business District (CBD).
According to Mr Gikaria, concerned residents called him at 2am yesterday expressing concerns that county askaris accompanied by police started to implement Governor Kinuthia Mbugua's order to evict hawkers from the streets despite a pending court case.
