Suna East MP Junet Mohamed has claimed that they were attacked in Uasin Gishu on Friday as they made their way to the burial of Mzee Kibor together with ODM leader Raila Odinga.
Mzee Kibor’s burial was held on Friday in his first wife’s home in Ziwa. Uasin Gishu County.
Raila and his team had pitched a tent in Rift Valley on Friday for campaigns.
Junet claims that they were mid-air when the attack happened. He said they had to seek alternative means as soon as possible.
“Today we almost got killed in soy constituency Uasin Gishu County at the Burial of Mzee Jackson Kibor’s burial. Our chopper was completely destroyed and we had to look for alternative means mid-air,” Junet tweeted.
The incident came hours after Raila was heckled in Iten, Elgeyo Marakwet County while attempting to sell his candidature to residents.
The region is believed to be Deputy President William Ruto’s political bastion.
While making his address in Iten town, Raila faced a hostile crowd that refused to be addressed by him.
The group was chanting the name of his main opponent, Ruto.
The ODM leader was forced to leave the place to go and campaign elsewhere.
