7 shot as burial of MP Kibunguchy’s driver turns chaotic

At least seven people were shot and injured on Monday afternoon after chaos erupted at the burial of the driver of Likuyani MP Enock Kibunguchy in Kiminini, Trans Nzoia.
Trouble began after a county official, a rival of Mr. Kibuguchy and also linked to the gun attack that killed the driver, arrived at the burial.
Attendants at the funeral immediately began chanting, with a section of politicians at the burial being accused of inciting the locals.
As the crowd turned rowdy, police deployed at the event opened fire, shooting at least seven people among them two bodyguards and Kapkomoy Ward MCA Ben Wanjala.
The burial was thrown into disarray as the crowd scattered with the few officers who remained at the scene being left to bury the slain driver. The injured were rushed to Mt. Elgon hospital in Kitale and nearby dispensaries.
Some of leaders at the funeral included Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula, Mr. Kibuguchy, Tongaren MP Eseli Simiyu, and Kanduyi MP Wafula Wamunyinyi.
The MP’s driver was shot in the head at Soy Highway Motel along Eldoret–Kitale road on Sunday, August 12 in what was termed as a botched assassination plot on Kibuguchy’s life.
Addressing the incident the next day, Mr. Kibunguchy said he was aware of at least two high-profile individuals that could have been behind the attack.

EPL: Why Manchester United should not sack Mourinho – Gary Neville

Former Manchester United captain, Gary Neville, has insisted that the club will not fire manager Jose Mourinho during the season, despite the tension and bad results. Mourinho watched on as United suffered their second consecutive defeat in the Premier League against Tottenham Hotspur on Monday. Speaking on Monday Night Football, Neville said United should aim to let him see out the remaining two years on his deal. He saw the end of his contract at Inter Milan, he saw the end of his contract at Porto and he saw the end of his contract at Real Madrid. “It’s only at Chelsea, which is a club of madness, where this has happened. At Inter Milan, Porto and Real Madrid he saw it to the end so let’s not rewrite history. At Chelsea, everybody dies a little bit early. It’s that type of club, he’s not on his own there. “It was tough for him at Real Madrid and he got through to the end of the season. I don’t see it happening during the season. To suggest that Manchester United are li...

Bale, Benzema in the goals as Real Madrid survive scare

Karim Benzema netted twice and Gareth Bale scored a trademark goal as Real Madrid overcame an early scare at Girona to win 4-1 on Sunday. Seeking their second win of the new La Liga season, the European champions went behind after Borja Garcia opened the scoring for Girona with a superb goal after 17 minutes. Real briefly looked rattled as Girona probed and Marcelo was continually exposed in the Real defence. But the inevitable comeback started when Marco Asensio was sent tumbling to the turf by a clumsy challenge and captain Sergio Ramos scored with an audacious ‘panenka’ penalty on 39 minutes. Asensio won his side’s second spot kick as Pere Pons lunged at the Real forward. This time it was Karim Benzema who stepped up to stroke home the penalty for his first goal of the season. Bale produced a typical finish for Real’s third goal, sprinting away from the Girona defence after being released by a wonderful pass from Isco and calmly steering the ball home. Benzema scored ...
