Accompanying the Woman Rep. was Baragwi Ward MCA David Mathenge who also run away from the rowdy crowd and found refugee in their waiting vehicles.
Before the incident, both Njeri and Mathenge were planning to hold a presser on incidents of assault on disabled people by county officials.
“We had planned to talk about many issues, among them being the recent events where women and the disabled were beaten up by individuals in the County.
“We would like to assure anyone who was injured that we will not relent over this matter until when they shall have received justice,” said the Woman Rep.
