Business owners in Kisii Town in Kisii County are counting losses worth millions of shillings following riots on Thursday night.
The riots rocked the town on Thursday night after the shooting of two people by police officers at Daraja Mbili market.
Stone-throwing demonstrators engaged police in running battles and lit several bonfires on the Kisii-Kisumu highway, blocking the road.
The protesters then marched into the town centre, smashing the windows of several buildings and moving vehicles.
They vandalised several shops and stormed a popular restaurant near the Kisii Bus Park and ate the food.
“This behaviour is uncalled for. Why should the rioters destroy other people’s property,” said a resident who only identified himself as Momanyi.
