Mumias East MP Peter Salasya has been set free after he had been apprehended following an assault against a Kakamega Member of County Assembly on Friday.
The controversial youthful lawmaker was freed on a Ksh.50,000 police cash bail and is set to appear in court on Tuesday, January 16.
Salsya is facing charges of assault, causing physical harm and creating a disturbance in a way that could lead to a breach of peace.
Salasya was on Friday caught on camera slapping Peter Walunya, the area MCA while attending a funeral in Mumias.
In a video that has since gone viral on social media platforms, Salasya is heard imploring the MCA to sit down and after he failed to comply, he landed on him with a hot slap.
The incident stirred mixed reactions on social media, with a section of Kenyans including politicians calling out the MP for his actions.
Police say that during the incident, two of Salasya’s security personnel allegedly fired shots into the air.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds

Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
