Mumias West parliamentary aspirant Rashid Echesa on Tuesday morning harassed a journalist who was taking photos of activities at Mumias Township polling station in Kakamega County. He reprimanded the reporter, asking her who she was and why she was taking photos and within seconds, she was surrounded by goons.

The former Sports Cabinet Secretary, in the presence of his bodyguards, forced the journalist to delete the photos she had taken, some of which had captured him at the polling station. He then proceeded to a car that did not have a number plate.
