Currently, a heavy police presence has been witnessed in Kerogoya as a number of her supporters have come out to express their support.

Maina was among several people who were injured after her supporters and those of Governor Anne Waiguru clashed at the Kirinyaga Police Station on Tuesday, August 22.

She allegedly sustained serious head injuries and was treated at the Kirinyaga County Referral Hospital before being transferred to the Nairobi Hospital for specialized care.
