Kakamega County Commissioner Abdulrizak Jaldesa said the politicians are suspected to be in charge of criminal gangs that have terrorised the constituency and instilled fear in the residents.

The County Commissioner however withheld the politicians’ identities, saying that they have launched investigations into the findings.

“We cannot name them now because this will jeopardise our investigations but we have sufficient information to hold the three politicians who are residents of this county to task because whenever we go, their names are [mentioned in connection] to the killings,” said Mr Jaldesa.

The Matungu killings spurred chaos in the county, having caused the death of 13 residents while several others were injured in brutal gang attacks.
