Kerugoya - Kirinyaga woman representative Jane Njeri has shaved her head bald after an alleged attack in Kerugoya town.

In pictures shared on social media, Njeri appeared weak and frail, sitting in a wheelchair.

She had worn a shirt and a skirt, donning a stylish hairstyle that was later shaved after she was injured on the head.

A patch of her head was covered with a white cloth after the altercation that led to her attack.

Netizens trooped to social media, wishing her a quick recovery.

People around her during the attack criticised the police for failing to defend the woman representative and instead resorting to remaining cold.

Planned attacks

Unruly youth has allegedly attacked the Kirinyaga woman representative minutes before launching a water project.

In a video shared by Citizen TV, Njeri claimed that Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru had sent goons to disrupt her meeting.

The video showed people hurling stones, wrestling and other consulting in inaudible voices.

"The governor should go. She is remaining with only four years. His people have injured a woman," the woman rep said.

Sponsored chaos

Njeri said they walked on foot after they noticed a commotion in the town and found a woman that had been attacked.

"We decided to walk on foot because they had injured one woman. We decided to take them using the route behind the stage. Uncountable youth on a motorbike surrounded us. I am bleeding, but I must stand for the people of Kirinyaga because I am a resident and was elected here," she said.

She said she was fighting for the people of Kirinyaga to access water and other amenities.

A source privy to the matter told TUKO.co.ke that the governor and the woman rep have had issues lately.

She explained the MP had gone to Kerugoya to launch a project that was not under her jurisdiction.
