Two journalists have been allegedly assaulted while covering a UDA meeting in Cherangany, Trans Nzoia.
Reports indicate that the attack occurred on Friday, March 20, 2026, and targeted the two journalists as they covered the political event.
The two were reportedly confronted by goons allegedly linked to Trans Nzoia Senator Allan Chesang over a story published by the Mombasa Road-based media house, which linked him to a controversial ambulance tender at Harambee House.
One of the journalists sustained injuries during the attack, while the other was assaulted as he filmed the incident and nearly lost his phone before colleagues intervened to rescue them.
According to the videos that circulated online, one of the attackers was seen viollently assaulting one of the journalists even as he pleaded for his life.
“Do not kill me. I am going to delete the footage. Why are you assaulting me?” the journalist was heard pleading before managing to escape.
According to reports, the attack is linked to a controversial report by The Standard and KTN titled “The Masterminds of the Harambee House Tender Scam,” which alleged links between Chesang and individuals involved in a fraudulent ambulance deal.
