Speaking after his recovery in a press conference on Saturday, April 11, the senator narrated that he had travelled to Kisumu for routine engagements. According to the senator, the meeting took place at a public establishment where he and his colleague were seated at a table. He noted that the location is generally considered secure due to surrounding businesses and the presence of an international hotel. Shortly after, he asked his security officer to step out briefly to withdraw money from a nearby mobile money outlet. Addressing claims circulating online about the nature of the incident, the senator dismissed suggestions that the attack was linked to a personal relationship.
