KISUMU: Women leaders from Kisumu have called on the Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet to deploy female officers to restrain women protestors in the coming anti-IEBC demonstrations.

The leaders claim it is a taboo for a man to beat another man's wife, a situation which has been witnessed in previous demonstrations in the area.
