Homabay Town Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Kaluma has been attacked by goons at Agoro Sare polling centre for the Kasipul by-election.

The MP claims that his bodyguard lost a firearm in the chaos.

Kaluma was acting as an observer for the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party.

Kaluma said his bodyguard was also attacked, injured, and lost his firearm during the chaos.

He also noted that they didn’t fight back because they were few as compared to the attackers.

“The way to end is not fighting back, we are very small people, we would have fought them back. Don’t fight them because that is what they want. They don’t want people to come to vote,” Kaluma said.
