A bodyguard attached to Education CS George Magoha has come under intense criticism after complaints emerged that he sexually assaulted two journalists in Kisumu on Thursday.
The incident is said to have occurred when Prof. Magoha was inspecting desks at Kosawo Primary School and one journalist bumped into the bodyguard while struggling to take pictures of the CS with the pupils.
“Nation Media Group Photographer Ondari Ogega accidentally bumped into the said officer whose identity is not known and even apologised. However, as he made his way out of the classroom, the CS’s bodyguard followed him and reached for his fly before squeezing his genitals and threatening to do more outside the classroom,” a statement from the Kisumu Journalists Network reads.
According to the union, the bodyguard also grabbed a female journalist’s buttocks and pushed her to give way for the CS. The second journalist has been identified as People Daily’s photographer Viola Kosome.
It has also been alleged that the same bodyguard harassed another journalist in Vihiga, inserting his fingers into the journalist's mouth.
