Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula has claimed his life is in danger after his mother’s home in Manyonyi village in Lugari Sub-County was raided by unknown people.
The thugs killed one of her mother’s dogs by chopping them into pieces.
Savula claims the attack, which occurred on Saturday, is a result of the remarks he made about the high cost of living.
“I called Lumakanda police station immediately; I received the information that night and officers were dispatched to the scene… I believe the attack has everything to do with my recent remarks on the rising cost of living,” Savula said
The former Lugari MP indicated that he was in Kisumu town when the incident happened.
“I was shocked when police officers told me that the over 50 people armed with machetes were cattle rustlers whose mission was to steal my mother’s herd but their explanation doesn’t make sense because the attackers did not steal anything in the end,” he said.
The MP narrated that the attackers escaped using the rare gate that they had used to gain access to the compound.
“It is an act meant to intimidate and silence me from speaking out the truth.” He said.
Savula, during a funeral in Kapsabet, Nandi County, called out people close to Ruto for failing to help the president address the cost of living.
“It was about me and not my mother, given the manner in which the attack was executed,” said Savula.
