Kenyans at large are disgusted after a viral video of a man beating up a disabled woman in Kangundo has made most Kenyans angry beyond explanation.
The 30-second clip that has since sparked angry reactions from Kenyans shows a woman, a helpless, disabled elderly woman getting clobbered by a man, who seemed to be an employee of an Inn establishment for reasons that are not yet available to the public.
“I have watched with disgust, a video alleged from a restaurant in Kangundo, of a young man assaulting a woman. I am shocked at this violent act.” Machakos Governor, Dr. Alfred Mutua said in part.
The saddest part is that two women who were present at the scene were seen laughing at the poor woman who couldn’t help herself from the lethal clobbering she was receiving from the man in question who also dragged her on the floor after kicking and beating her up repeatedly.

“The young man will have to be arrested and jailed. Others in the video who just watch & do/say nothing will also need to be disciplined” Dr. Mutua assured Kenyans on his official Twitter handle.
Police launched a manhunt for the man in Kangundo, and they have successfully arrested him and he is in their custody. The man’s identity hasn’t been shared yet.
The suspect who has since been arrested after Machakos Governor, Alfred Mutua for clobbering a disabled, helpless woman and will soon be arraigned in court to face assault charges.
“KANGUNDO Assault Video update: The young man has been arrested & will be arraigned in court. As a society, we should not just sit and watch abuse of others among us.” Machakos Governor, Dr. Alfred Mutua said on Sunday, 15th March, “Speak out, scream, oppose, intervene. Don’t just watch. The business is not to blame for acts of unruly staff.,”
