A specialized team of sleuths from the elite Crime Research & Intelligence Bureau and the Homicide department has been dispatched to search for Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa, who is wanted for murder.
On Thursday, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) ordered the MP to surrender to the nearest police station within the next six hours.
Barasa went into hiding after the brutal murder of one Brian Olunga, a personal assistant to DAP-K party candidate for Kimilili parliamentary seat Brian Khaemba.
“Hon Barasa, is wanted for the cold blooded murder of Brian, whom he shot on the forehead killing him on the spot, on Tuesday, August 8, at Chebukwabi in Kimilili, Bungoma county,” DCI said in a statement.
The DCI warned that serious action will be taken against any person/s found to be the murder suspect.
Barasa is said to have shot Olunga outside Chebukwabi polling station at around 6.00 pm on Tuesday, according to a police report.
Khaemba, who was seeking to unseat Barasa, had gone to the polling station to witness the counting of the votes but he found Barasa there and decided to leave.
Barasa then followed him in the company of four men and ordered them to block Khaemba from leaving. Khaemba’s driver identified as Joshua Nasokho defied the order and ignited the vehicle.
“Didmus Barasa withdrew a pistol and aimed at Mr. Khaemba’s aide namely Brian Olunga and shot him on the forehead where he profusely bled,” read the police report.
Olunga was rushed to Kimilili Sub-County Hospital where he died while undergoing treatment.
Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has since declared Barasa as the winner of Kimilili MP race. Barasa garnered 26,861 votes ahead of Khaemba who managed to get 9,497 votes.

He has surfaced with a strange defense.He claims that Brian was killed by a stray bullet,and that it was him who was targeted for assassination.It’s all convoluted,not sure how much is fabrication…His lawyer claims that media rushed to judgement…Well, what we know is that the “killer” had enough time with lawyer Khwaminwa ,to come up with enough lies that sound believable.
I dont buy the notion that he was hiding for his safety. Let’s see the evidence.
