There was tension on Wednesday afternoon after Godfrey Osotsi was attacked by unknown people at a local hotel in Kisumu. Reports say the senator was ambushed by a group of individuals who left him with serious injuries.
The incident shocked many leaders and residents, raising concern about the safety of politicians in the region.
After the attack, Osotsi was rushed to a hospital in Kisumu for emergency treatment. However, his condition became worse, forcing doctors to transfer him to Karen Hospital in Nairobi. He is currently receiving specialized care as doctors continue to monitor his condition closely.
As investigations continue, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has reportedly received a threatening message.
The message, which came in the evening, warned him that he could be the next target. This has increased fear among leaders, with many now calling for better security and quick action from authorities.
Speaking after the incident, Peter Salasya claimed that Sifuna might be the next victim. He said that he was the first Western leader to be attacked in the Luo region, followed by Osotsi, and now Sifuna could be the third.
His statement has sparked debate online, with many questioning the rising cases of political violence.
Despite his remarks, Salasya also joined other leaders in condemning the attack on Osotsi. He urged the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to move quickly, investigate the matter, and arrest those responsible.
Many Kenyans are now waiting to see action taken, as concerns over safety and political tensions continue to grow.
