Amani National Congress (ANC) party has condemned the arson attack on its Kakamega branch office on Monday.

"In the past, the party and its national leadership have come under spirited verbal assault by our detractors, political competitors and their agents both from within and without," a statement by ANC secretary general Barrack Mwuluka said.

The secretary general said that the party will resist emerging efforts to kill multiparty democracy through 'intimidation and scaremongering'.
