On Friday, October 29, Samburu West Member of Parliament, Hon. Naisula Lesuuda was allegedly attacked by unknown people at night who pelted her car with stones.
According to the statement given by the MP, she was heading home from a meeting when she was ambushed in Maralal town.
She mentioned that she was from a successful meeting she had held with a number of Kikuyu businessmen and about 600 other key stakeholders.
While speaking to the media, Naisula stated that these are worrying events that politicians should avoid, especially now that they are trying to maintain peace in the area.
“It is very unfortunate that we have such incidents when we are discussing matters of security in this area.
“I can only imagine that if such a thing has been done to my car, what then can be done to another person?” Naisula posed.
The aspiring governor further noted that she is confident that the attack was political, since some political statements were hurled at her before the attack.
“Why I am convinced it was all political is because of the political statements made before the stone was hurled at my car,” she remarked.
“I have gone through this but God and the people vindicated such goons and they will do it again. I encourage other women not to fear or be intimidated especially as they run for political seats,” Naisula stated on her social media platforms.
Notably, she stated that this was not the first time she was being attacked, but she will not back down.
“There was a time I had an incident where I was at a radio station and some young men came and threatened to burn down the station if I didn't leave, yet I was only selling my manifesto. I will still push forward with my ambitions regardless,” Naisula remarked.
