Opinion: Apply the law ruthlessly on those out to cause violence

Junet Mohammed's launch of re-election bid in Migori ended abruptly when chaos broke out following the arrival of Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho.

Migori town is developing a reputation for political intolerance and rowdiness. In September 2014, a political rally in Migori turned chaotic after some youth, no doubt acting at the behest of someone, threw a shoe on the executive dais while President Uhuru Kenyatta was addressing the crowd.

It would have turned out worse had the presidential guards not restrained themselves despite the provocation.
