Three Politicians are believed to be behind Matungu’s brutal murder that have left 13 people dead while others in hospitals nursing serious injuries.
The Killings are believed according to investigations to be politically sponsored.
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.
Speaking after holding a security meeting with stakeholders, Mr Jaldesa, who declined to identify the politicians, said a special team of investigators has been established to probe them.
According to the county administrator, the politicians are misusing young people by giving them money and fuelling their motorcycles so that they cause mayhem, adding that the politicians are doing so due to political rivalry.
He said investigations have revealed that the politicians want to instill fear in the residents before 2022 so that they capitalize on the killings to outdo their rivals.
Even though mob justice is not justified, the mob has managed to kill five of the suspects which the heads of the security and resident agreed to corporate in case a suspect is arrested by either side.
