Kajiado Governor Joseph Ole Lenku blasted troublemakers who wrecked property during Monday's protests. The angry leader said outsiders caused the chaos and local people had nothing to do with the violence. Lenku visited Kitengela Sub-County Hospital Tuesday to see damage from the riots. He told reporters that peaceful Kajiado residents don't act like wild animals. The governor pointed fingers at strangers who brought trouble to his quiet county.
A mob stormed the hospital carrying a dead 21-year-old who got shot during the demonstrations. The gang beat up hospital workers and smashed windows trying to force their way inside. Lenku called the attack completely unacceptable and dangerous for sick patients. Medical staff tried to help injured people despite threats from angry protesters. The governor praised doctors and nurses for staying brave during the scary situation.
Rioters also hit businesses and government buildings across Kitengela, Kiserian and Ngong areas. Many local families stayed calm even when things got really bad around them. County offices in Kiserian took heavy damage from the violent crowds. Lenku promised to team up with police to stop future attacks on public property. The governor warned that Kajiado won't put up with criminals pretending to be peaceful protesters.
