Police in Kisii county on Monday recovered pangas and a reflector jacket hidden in a thicket near County Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission offices.
Kisii County Police Commander Francis Kooli said his officers received an anonymous tip-off from members of the public about the pangas
An aspirant and four other people suspected to have been involved in planning chaos in the area are being investigated
“We believe the weapons were to be used by supporters of a certain aspirant to cause violence and then blame it on their opponents,” Kooli stated.
“There are militia groups that have been formed to terrorize people, we want to warn them that we are monitoring Them and we will pull down those forums. We will not allow social media to be used to cause violence,” he said.
