Kikuyu town yesterday witnessed scenes of police heavy-handedness and alleged impunity as they disrupted a planned peaceful political meeting by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

A heavy police presence, coupled with reports of assault, teargas use and live ammunition, brought transport and economic activities to a standstill as suspected hired goons and police officers blocked Gachagua  from addressing his supporters.
