Businessmen in the
Maseno community are counting losses after the massive destruction of their
property following Maseno University students’ unrest resulting to fierce
combat between the students, locals and policemen.
The angry students who
were protesting the murder of their fellow comrade by one local on Monday evening
marched to Emabungo village Tuesday, where the murder took place demanding for
justice but some of the villagers retaliated by engaging the students in battle
in an attempt to drive them away. The one-day scuffle between students and
villagers left property of immense value destroyed and it is the businesspeople
who were most affected because their structures are aligned at the roadside
where the clash took center stage.
