Musalia Mudavadi Organised Youth to Stone Me - CS Eugene Wamalwa Reveals

Water Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa has come out to accuse National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Musalia Mudavadi of orchestrating an attack against him.

Speaking after he was heckled and pelted with stones during a function in Vihiga County, the CS claimed that the NASA leader planned the attack to embarrass him.

"He (Mudavadi) failed to control the crowd during that national event and let them heckle on. It seems everything was pre-arranged to embarrass Jubilee leaders.

"When I asked him whether it was a cultural event or a political event, he failed to convince me. I saw a majority of non-NASA leaders had kept away from the event and that was the first failure for Mudavadi," the CS stated.

The CS further expressed disappointment that the Maragoli Cultural event had taken a tribalistic turn instead of encouraging unity.

"I thought the event was of national importance but Mudavadi depicted it as a Maragoli community event, which was not supposed to be attended by leaders from other communities.

"Let us tolerate each other in such cultural events which bring together all Luhya leaders . . . It wasn't a political event as it turned out," the CS urged.

Mr Mudavadi's Spokesman, Kibisu Kabatesi, dismissed Wamalwa's accusations terming them as "wild claims".

"First Wamalwa gatecrashed the Maragoli festival, he didn’t even inform Mr Mudavadi, who is the event’s patron, nor the area Governor Wilbur Ottichilo that he was to attend.

"Mudavadi could not have planned anything sinister against his own brother, I think Wamalwa had prearranged his own heckling to send a signal to the Jubilee government for reappointment as a Cabinet secretary because he fears he might be left out," the representative rebutted.

Mudavadi's spokesperson further accused the CS of fueling the feud between the two subgroups.

" He should stop fuelling the Bukusu vs Maragoli feuds.

"The locals were not after him as a person but they were fed up with the presence of Jubilee at the event because he represented it. Mudavadi had nothing to do with it, in fact, he was the saviour," Mr Kabetesi asserted.
