TWO Homa Bay MCAs were on Monday
night allegedly involved in a gun drama in Kisumu town.
The driver of Ben Ombima, a Vihiga
county nominated MCA, has lodged a complaint with the police over the behaviour
of Sylvance Wanjala (Kanyikela) and Julius Gaya (Central Karachuonyo).
Kennedy Omondi said Wanjala
threatened him with a gun.
“I had dropped my boss home and was
returning to my house in Ondiek estate when the incident happened,” he said.
Omondi said he hooted when he found
a white Hummer parked on the road near his house.
“Wanjala was driving while Gaya was
seated on the co-driver’s seat with other people in the back seats,” he said.
Omondi said after the car cleared
the way, Wanjala alighted and rushed towards him as he waited for the gate to
be opened.
“He was wielding a gun. I could not
run because I thought he might shoot at me,” he said.
"I thought he was irritated by
the hooting.”
Omondi said the MCAs sped off when
he raised the alarm.
He said his neighbour identified the
MCAs.
When contacted Wanjala, denied the
allegations and threatened to seek legal redress if the story is published.
“I think you know the repercussions
of defamation. Let the driver tell you exactly what happened,” he said on the
phone.
Wanjala said he is licensed firearm
holder but denied claims he uses it to intimidate people.
Gaya said he was not in Wanjala’s
company during the incident.
“I was not with Wanjala and we could
not do that. What did the driver do to be threatened with a gun?” he said.
"Wanjala is a very harmless
person. I do not think he can do that. I also own a gun but cannot use it to
intimidate people.”
Gaya said he spent the night at
Great Lakes Hotel, which is near Ondiek estate.
