An MCA aspirant has died after he was attacked by unknown assailants at his home in Kisii County.
Thomas Ontweka, who was eyeing the Bombaba Borabu ward representative seat on an ODM ticket, was hacked to death with a machete at his home in Bombaba, Bamachoge Borabu sub-county.
This came hours after he arrived home from Nairobi to prepare for the ODM party nominations slated for April 7th.
Area Chief Henry Magetto said the attack is suspected to be politically instigated.
His nephew Daniel Mayaka said Okari arrived home from Nairobi at around 11:00 pm and went straight to his bedroom.
He said the assailants gained entry into his house through the backdoor and hacked him in the head using a panga before escaping.
Moyaka says he was asleep when he heard Okari, 38, shouting for help and found him lying in a pool of blood when he rushed to his bedroom. Okari was rushed to Oasis Specialist Hospital in Kisii, where he was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). He died from the injuries at 7:00 am on Monday.
Police have since launched investigations into the businessman’s death.
Paranoid POLITICS coupled…
Paranoid POLITICS coupled with Too much Banghi could be the Problem here.
So sad that we have now…
So sad that we have now started seeing this even as we near the polls. The poor man will see more and more of these deaths perpetuated by power hungry individuals. People who will not accept defeat, people who will not accept dissenting voices, people who want to win by whichever means in-order to go and grab/root any remaining pie and enrich themselves. This vice should be stopped and dealt with seriously. The IEBC should be given all the resources they need to reign and deal with such cases with the magnitude it deserves so that people will have confidence in the body.
STOP ELECTION VIOLENCE MY PEOPLE.CERTAINLY IT IS NOT DEMOCRACY.

It’s called ODM or the lack of better word Azimio banditry and cultured hooliganism.
Who will stop this when the only president of Kenya has renegaded his duties and is now mtu wa mkono or chief campaign manager for the official opposition party?
