Two people including a nine-year-old boy were injured in Rapogi village, Migori County, during a clash between rival political groups at a funeral event. The victims were caught in the chaos as opposing groups, one aligned with Migori Governor Ochilo Ayacko and the other supportive of Uriri MP Mark Nyamita, engaged in violence. Gun shots rent the air, prompting attendees to flee for safety. The altercation, fuelled by a longstanding feud between the two groups, turned the funeral event into a battleground. Governor Ayacko condemned the incident as regrettable, accusing the MP of orchestrating violence in his constituency. In his response, Nyamita accused the governor of promoting violence to cover up his own inefficiencies.
