Two women injured as clashes erupt over trader relocation in Kitengela

Tension remains high in Kitengela, Kajiado county, after two women were shot and injured during clashes between traders, Kajiado county askaris, and police officers. The violence, now entering its third day on Friday, follows the county’s decision to relocate traders from the roadside to a newly constructed market. Authorities say the escalation has been fueled by goons taking advantage of the situation to spread chaos. Security agencies have launched a five-day operation to flush out criminals.
