A Homa Bay MCA hopeful has been arrested in connection with violence during his campaign rally on Thursday. Lazarus Onyango, 47, an ODM aspirants for Central Karachuonyo ward, was arrested after violence erupted in his rally in the afternoon. Three residents were injured during the violence — Wycliffe Otieno, Dickens Omondi and Sheila Atieno suffered panga cuts to the head. “Violence erupted when supporters of Onyango stepped on, slapped the youth, kicked and threw him out of the dais,” a witness said. Homa Bay county police commander John Omusanga said, “We’ve arrested the MCA aspirant, because he’s linked to the violence, since he could not control his supporters,” Omusanga said.
