The governor of Kenya’s western Kisumu county has suspended local officials who were filmed on Wednesday dragging a fruit vendor along the road.

Local media report that the woman had refused to give a bribe. She was selling oranges and lemons on a pavement in the city where hawking is prohibited.

The woman told journalists that one of the officials seated at the back of the pick-up truck held her hand and refused to let her go as the vehicle sped off.

The driver of the vehicle drove to a nearby police station after a mob gave chase. Police fired tear gas to disperse an angry crowd that gathered at the station.

Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o said he had suspended from duty all officials involved in the incident until investigations are concluded.
