WATCH: ‘Progressive’ bees attack protestors, police in Kenya

A video of bees recently attacking protestors and police in Kenya has emerged, leaving some saying they were “progressive” for breaking a standoff. In the video, protestors are seen running away from the swarm, with some using cloths to swat them away.

The police simply just get into their car and drive away from the merciless bees, while some man can be seen struggling to fight them off.

The attack has received mixed reactions on social media, with some laughing at the unfortunate incident, while some say it would have been funny if the bees were not deadly.

Opposition leader Raila Odinga is insisting on widespread reforms of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) ahead of the new presidential election scheduled for October 26.

On Tuesday about 300 Odinga supporters gathered outside the commission’s main offices waving placards and chanting “Chiloba out!”, a reference to IEBC chief executive Ezra Chiloba whom Odinga wants sacked and prosecuted.

After they were confronted by a smaller crowd of pro-government demonstrators, police used tear gas to clear the street, kicking off hours of cat-and-mouse chases around the office complex.

Speaking blocks away from the melee, Odinga declared the start of a “peaceful campaign” against the IEBC and alleged an international “conspiracy” — involving the ruling Jubilee Party, Kenyan telecoms company Safaricom and French IT firm OT-Morpho — to keep him from power.

“The tragedy faced today, which we have to confront before it consumes us, is not that elections were stolen, but that IEBC, Jubilee and a number of local and international actors are determined to repeat that fraud,” he said.

Without providing evidence, Odinga alleged that results from polling stations were not remitted to the national tally centre, but instead sent to “a cloud server registered in Spain and controlled in France”.

As a result, Odinga claimed, “results… left the country but never found their way back”.

The Supreme Court annulled the August 8 presidential election which judges ruled was mismanaged by electoral officials to the extent that the results were “neither transparent nor verifiable”.

The annulment has heightened political tensions in Kenya, with President Uhuru Kenyatta describing the court decision as “a judicial coup” while Odinga has threatened to boycott the new election unless the IEBC is overhauled.

Kenya’s chief prosecutor on Saturday told the police and anti-corruption agency to investigate alleged “irregularities and illegalities” in the conduct of the presidential poll, ordering that investigations be completed within 21 days.
