Kirinyaga Woman Representative Njeri Maina has been injured after a meeting she was attending on Tuesday, August 22, 2023, turned chaotic.

Speaking after the incident, Ms Maina said that she was attacked by people known to her sent by her political enemies.

“It’s people I know. I have bled but I will defend the people of Kirinyaga County. I have been elected here in Kirinyaga and people must get their rights,” she said.

Ms Maina was attacked while on a meet-the-people tour in Kerugoya town when she was blocked by goons who wanted to bar her from addressing the people.

The Woman Rep, who was on foot, was in the company of Baragwi Ward MCA David Mathenge who was also caught up in the fracas.

The leaders fled to their cars before being driven to Kerugoya Hospital where they were treated.
