Bouncers manning nightclubs in Kisumu have been accused of harassing revellers after a man was allegedly assaulted at a nightclub in the city's Central Business District.
A number of revellers told The Nairobian that the incident is not an isolated case but an example of the several cases of assault by rogue bouncers.
Maurice Ouma, a reveller who frequents clubs in the town said that security is guaranteed after one pays a small tip to the bouncers.
"If you normally tip them, they will always treat you like a king," said Ouma.
On Tuesday, a group of clubgoers convened a press briefing in Kisumu to protest an assault on one of their colleagues. They are members of a group called 'House of Lords' and have threatened to take legal action against Alleyways Club in Kisumu. They accused the club of failing to reign on their security personnel (bouncers) who are notorious for harassing revellers especially when they are drunk.
