Busia Governor Sospeter Ojaamong has condemned violence that characterised the Matungu and Kabuchai by-elections. The county chief spoke less than 24 hours after violence was reported in Matungu constituency in Kakamega and Kabuchai in Bungoma as voters elected MP in by-elections. The violence witnessed in Matungu where an MP was stripped naked and also in Kabuchai is a shame to the electoral process,” Ojaamong said. Trouble began when Malala, arrived at the polling station and accused Wanga of bribing voters, resulting in a physical confrontation. In Kabuchai in Bungoma county, police arrested MPs Didmus Barasa (Kimilili), Nelson Koech (Belgut), Wilson Kogo (Chesumei) and Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei for allegedly planning violence in Kabuchai constituency.
