Political leaders in the United Opposition have strongly condemned the recent attack on Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi by a group of armed goons in Kisumu County, calling for expeditious police action on the matter. 

Speaking on Thursday at the Karen Hospital where the accosted Senator is recuperating, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka reckoned that Ososti is the recent victim of a targeted political attack by a few individuals in government who seek to cripple the opposition.

Confirming that the Senator is stable and recovering, Kalonzo fingered Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo, accusing him of being behind the deployment of goons on dissenting political leaders. 

He demanded that he should resign from office, arguing that he has proven to be incompetent and legal action will be initiated if he fails to step down.e will institute a private prosecution against PS Omollo. He should immediately resign," he said.

 

"Raymond Omollo's name is plainly placed before Kenyans. These are his own goons, and the police report to him. If he does not resign, then his boss, President Ruto, should fire him."

 

The political firebrand further called for tolerance among political leaders, warning that the rampant attacks against opposing leaders will have dire ramifications on national unity and erode public trust in President William Ruto's administration.

On his part, Makueni Senator Dan Maanzo demanded that the assailants be arrested, claiming that the Inspector General of Police and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have repeatedly turned a blind eye to similar crimes.

 

“The IG and DCI boss have allowed a lot of crime like this to go unattended and without prosecution. I am really challenging the IG this time round and his police system to make arrests and we want to see justice being done for Osotsi and such other acts stopped across the country,” he said.

"This is attempted murder on Osotsi and the goons should not be charged with a lesser offence."

Saboti MP Caleb Amisi called on President Ruto to call his teams to order and ensure that the vice is nipped in the bud to uphold natiostability.nal 

"We will not allow President Ruto to bring down Kenya to an anarchical state. We are here to protect this country with whatever it takes," he said.

 

Osotsi was attacked on April 8 when he made a routine visit to the Acacia area to get a haircut before proceeding to Java restaurant, where he met a friend and also interacted with members of the public.

Shortly after, a group of gun-wielding individuals is said to have confronted him, questioning him over his political allegiance.

The DCI has launched a probe into the incident, with early efforts focusing on forensic analysis of CCTV footage obtained from the scene, which authorities believe could provide key insights into the circumstances surrounding the attack.

The agency has called on members of the public to remain calm and avoid speculation as investigations continue.

 

“The DCI is fully committed to getting to the bottom of this matter and will ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice,” DCI said, assuring that updates will be provided as the investigation progresses. Citizen Digital
