The story below is one of the many cases Nyamira County government administration has been humiliating members of the public over petty issues. In this case a Bodaboda operator based at Ting'a Stage, Bosamaro Ward Nyamira County has been going through hell after he was accused of destroying a photo on one of the Street lights erected in the area by the county government of Nyamira.
The Bodaboda operator (Name withheld) was arrested by the area chief who accused him of destroying Governor Nyagarama's photo placed on the poles holding the street lights.
It is said the Bodaboda rider became the chief suspect after he was found by the area chief together with his team pointing at the torn poster, He was manhandled by the chief's village militants and later taken to Nyamira Police Station . After few days the
man was arraigned in court and charged of malicious damage where he was released on a Ksh's 50,000 awaiting judgement of his pending case.
A number of the youth operating in the area have also disappeared from their homes concerning this case leaving back their families in confusion and worry. Residents of Nyamira said it is not the first case of the county government in collaboration with the area adminstration intimidating and humiliating the young men in the area over such issues. This is being rolled out deliberately because of the area bodaboda operators political positions said to have been anti-
government.
The decision of the county government having street lights in the area was a superb move and has been welcomed by the residents of Nyamira but now it is becoming a source of intimidation and lack of peace of mind in Nyamira
