Police were forced to calm down the angry youth before the county askaris were released from the supermarket.

“We are suffering. We don’t have jobs and the little hustles we are doing are being frustrated by these county askaris. There is someone who is buying smokies at Ksh. 18 to sell it at 20 in order to survive,” said Karugu.
