Wednesday, January 17, 2024 - Mumias East Member of Parliament, Peter Salasya, has been accused of faking illness to avoid taking a plea in the assault case facing him.
Salasya was arrested over the weekend after he assaulted Malaha/Isongo/Makunga
MCA Peter Walunya Indimuli on Friday.
He is currently out
on police cash bail and he was supposed to appear in court on Wednesday to face
assault charges.
However, Salasya allegedly fell ill on Tuesday and was
admitted to a city hospital.
"Honourable
Peter Salasya is currently not feeling well please pray for him. It's not well
with him," reads one of his Facebook posts.
Salasya spent the
night in custody after he assaulted the MCA who had advised him to be
respectful during his speech.
"Indimuli requested the MP observe family decorum in his speech, but instead the MP arrogantly shouted him down, which immediately erupted into unrest amongst the mourners.
"The MP then attacked the MCA with blows and slaps," the police
report read in part.
Members of the public rescued the ward representative and whisked him away.
"Four gunshots
suspected to have been discharged by the MP's security detail were heard,"
the report further reads.
