A motorcycle racing event at Whistling Moran, Machakos yesterday had to be stopped before it even started when police officers stormed the track.

While the racing group argued they had valid court orders allowing the event to take place, police insisted they were enforcing public orders, which led to a stand-off. Police reportedly sought to stop the event due to people flouting Covid-19 containment rules and resorted to using Teargas to scatter protesters.
