Natembeya's Convoy Attacked While Leaving Chebukati's Requiem Mass

A requiem mass to honour the late former IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati in Kimilili, Trans Nzoia County, on Friday, turned chaotic when Governor George Natembeya was reportedly ambushed by hired goons while leaving the venue.

Natembeya claims that after his arrival, Kiminini MP Kakai Bisau, who had allegedly already left the venue, returned with a group of rowdy individuals who aggressively targeted his entourage, prompting police intervention.

According to Natembeya, Bisau instructed the hooligans to station themselves along the roadside to ambush his convoy as it left the venue.

In the ensuing chaos, Natembeya’s driver, Kaitano Siphas, was injured in the neck while attempting to shield the Governor from the barrage of stones. Two police officers also suffered injuries and are currently receiving medical attention.

Natembeya has since condemned the attack, calling it a “disgraceful and barbaric” attempt to instill fear and disrupt peace

He also called on law enforcement agencies to launch investigations into the incident and bring those responsible to justice.
