EALA MP Kanini Kega claims he escaped armed attack, accuses police

In a video shared on Monday, the former Kieni MP said he escaped the alleged attackers and took refuge in a nearby house, where he remained temporarily safe as he assessed the situation.

"Kenyans, you can see I'm under attack. I've been chased by armed police officers. They pointed guns at me. We were only able to escape," Kega said in the recording.

He went further, directly addressing President William Ruto and framing the incident as an attempt on his life.

"Ruto, you are not going to kill us unless you kill all of us. But we are not going to relent," he said. "You wanted to kill me over three vehicles. You have even sprayed my vehicle. I am only alive by the grace of God."

Kega said he had been given shelter by residents of the house where he filmed the video.

"I want to tell Kenyans that I'm temporarily safe in this house," he added.

His claims come amid heightened political tensions following violent incidents in Kisumu and Nyahururu over the weekend.
