Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyong’o has condemned the forceful eviction of former Cabinet Minister Raphael Tuju from his multi-million business premise in Karen, Nairobi. Nyong’o is questioning the heavy deployment of police officers to oversee what he termed a civil dispute that ought to be handled differently. “The resort to nocturnal operations and coercive displays of state power in matters of a civil nature invites legitimate public concern. Ultimately, every Kenyan, regardless of status, creed or political inclination, deserves a fair and just treatment under the law,” he said. The previous night, Tuju had confronted a group of goons, who attempted to take over the premises that had about 25 businesses operating within the compound, including his private office.
