Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi has publicly accused Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo of orchestrating a violent attack against him, alleging the incident was a politically motivated attempt on his life. Osotsi made the accusations after being discharged from hospital following treatment for injuries sustained in the alleged attack.
The senator claimed that Omollo, who serves as Principal Secretary in Kenya's Ministry of Interior, used his influence and connections to arrange the assault. Osotsi described the attack as a direct consequence of political tensions between himself and Omollo, though the precise nature of their dispute was not fully detailed in initial reports.
Osotsi called on relevant Kenyan security and investigative agencies to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the attack and the alleged role of the Interior PS. He expressed concern that his position as a senator had not shielded him from what he described as state-linked political violence.
Raymond Omollo had not publicly responded to the accusations at the time of reporting. The allegations, if substantiated, would represent a serious case of abuse of office and politically motivated violence at a senior level of Kenya's government. Kenyan authorities had not confirmed any formal investigation into the matter as of the date of this report.
