Ford Kenya party leader Moses Masika Wetangula has been asked to stop forcing a leader of his choice to the people of Kabuchai Constituency.

While addressing the press in Bungoma town, Doctor Evans Wafula Makokha, an aspirant who is seeking to unseat MP Majimbo Kalasinga of Kabuchai Constituency noted that Wetangula has been actively participating in imposing leaders on the people of Kabuchai denying them an opportunity to practice their democratic right.

“This time around we are calling upon you senator Wetangula to leave the Kabuchai people to determine their leadership. We don’t want imposition of leaders in Kabuchai, ”he said.

He went further to say that it is time for Kabuchai to have a chance for it has been doing badly in terms of development compared to the other constituencies in the county, saying that he is fit to actualize that.

Dr Wafula went ahead to ask for a lifestyle audit to be done on the sitting MP Majimbo Kalasinga and the members of CDF in his constituency to determine the source of their wealth saying that they have been busy squandering public funds instead of putting it in good use.

“We have evidence that the current leadership in Kabuchai is so much corrupted in that the MP awards himself tenders through other people and some are bribing him to get the tenders instead of awarding them to people who deserve it, ”he said.

Masten Wanjala, the self-confessed serial child killer has been lynched by mob in his rural home in Mukhweya village, Bungoma County.

This comes just days after the suspected killer escaped from Jogoo Road Police Station in Nairobi on a day he was to be presented in court.

According to police reports, Wanjala was identified after he ironically joined a football match in the area and played with locals in Bungoma.

Some of those who identified him as a wanted man later trailed him to his home where they lynched him.

Area Assistant County Commissioner Cornelius Nyaribai confirmed the suspect was flushed from their house and lynched by a mob.

Wanjala, 25, escaped from Jogoo Road police station cells on Wednesday morning as remandees and others were being separated from the general population.

According to Bungoma head of DCI Joseph Ondoro, the locals had successfully identified the lynched man as Wanjala.

He has led police to crime scenes, reenacted them, made voice recordings and showed investigators his scrapbook detailing the murders. 

Police said they had so far linked him to as many as 14 murder murders in Nairobi, Machakos and Western Kenya. He had confessed to killing 12 children when he was arrested in July this year in Kajiado.

Videos capturing the incident showed him being removed by a mob from a house and being beaten with clubs and stones.

Following his escape from custody, senior police officers visited the station to understand what happened.

Police officers Phillip Mbithi, Boniface Kamakia Mutuma and Precious Mwinzi arraigned on Thursday said they had no lights the night Wanjala escaped.
