Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has taken a swipe at the government following a recent incident where a group of youth were assaulted by the police.
Reacting to the story, Sifuna used the ongoing Nyota disbursment by the government, saying that such capital injected into business is again vandalized by the police.

He was speaking in reference to the incident that could have easily been an investment by a youth, but was destroyed by the same government that wants them to succeed.
“That incident in Nandi Hills where Police beat up young people playing pool for no reason is the clearest example of “development” in the context of Democracy. Unapewa pesa ya NYOTA unafungua place ya pool polisi anavuruga tu hivo.
A dictator can give you seed money for small business. So can a Democrat. Only one of them will respect your rights and freedoms,” he said
The incident in Nandi Hills has drawn criticism from Kenyans and leaders at large who condemned it saying that it was a clear violation of their rights.
“I want to strongly condemn these acts of police brutality , criminality and abuse of human rights perpetuated by police officers in Nandi hills Town, Nandi county to peace loving youth who their only mistake was play pool game which is NOT an offence in any of our laws,” said Senator Cherargei
