Following the attack on Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malalah on Sunday, December 6, 2020 at Christ the King Cathedral by goons commandeered by Bungoma Governor and Kanduyi MP Wafula Wamunyinyi themselves… The visibly irate Lurambi MP Titus Khamala on Monday, December 7, 2020 issued a stun warning to the Bungoma leaders reminding them that Malalah has a home saying in what pundits call ‘parliamentary language’… “if you chase our leader from your backyard, will you ever step foot in Kakamega? …if you do, we are just here as kakamega residents”
Speaking at a function in Kakamega town, the MP encouraging leaders to exercise political tolerance
Malalah who had invited by Senator Moses Wetangula to a fundraiser at the Bungoma church became a target after telling off Wamunyinyi over FORD Kenya party leadership saying it makes no sense for Wamunyinyi to cause discomfort in the party in the name of a coup and proceed to contest for the Kanduyi seat. This prompted a confrontation after the event (inside the church)

Immediately the fundraiser ended, the visibly angry Wamunyinyi physically went for Senator Malala who was not intimidated by the Kanduyi MPs towering figure. Leaders present including the guest of honour Vihiga Sen. George Khaniri, Senate speaker Lusaka, Senator Wetangula, Khalaba MCA Hon. Majimbo Okumu and several bodyguards intervened to prevent a nasty scene inside the church. All this time Wangamati was busy on his phone allegedly issuing instructions to launch an attack on Malala, Khaniri, Lusaka and Wetangula… Everyone left the church building thinking all was well
As leaders got into their respective vehicles ready to exit the Catholic church, Bungoma governor Wycliffe Wangamati and Kanduyi MP Wafula Wamunyinyi commandeered their troops aka goons to prepare an assault on the Kakamega senator so one of Wangamati’s chase cars was driven to the church gate and parked to prevent other vehicles from leaving the venue. Further inside the church Senator Wetangula was forced to come out of the vehicle amid WETA, WETA, WETA …. Chants from his supporters. Nothing was moving at this point
Nasty scenes;
Wangamati and Wamunyinyi’s goons attack Senators Malala, Khaniri, Wetangula and Lusaka’s convoy over church speeches
