Rift Valley Regional Commissioner George Natembeya and Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa clashed on Saturday during the burial of Orie Rogo Manduli in Trans Nzoia.
Chris Wamalwa who was in the company of Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula, hijacked the Master of ceremony and ensured they speak first so that they leave.
“They feared that due to protocol, Natmbeya was going to speak last and could carry the day. They hijacked the opportunity and spoke first, “said a source who attended the burial.
Addressing the mourners, MP Wamalwa said he will demolish defense CS Eugene Wamalwa and his “project Natembeya”.
After they had spoken, they stormed out of the burial and asked their followers to follow them.
However, the people did not follow them.
When Rift Valley Regional Commissioner George Natembeya rose to speak, he dared Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa to resign and fully concentrate on the Trans Nzoia Governorship race.
Natembeya said Wamalwa started campaigning in 2017.
He said Wamalwa fears competition after he Natembeya joined the race.
“Wamalwa is jumping up and down like a tennis ball.Let him resign as an MP and tomorrow I will also resign as Regional commissioner. Then we meet in the field and square it out,” Natembeya said.
He said Wamalwa should not think elections are won by one vying alone.
Natembeya accused Wamalwa of saying that he is a project.
Instead Natembeya said Chris Wamalwa is Moses Wetangulas project.
“He was given the Ford Kenya ticket long ago. There was no nomination. The person supporting him is from Bungoma, not Trans Nzoia. Chris Wamalwa is a person from Lutonyi,he came here in Kananchi in 2010 and bought a quarter an acre of land. After he got taxpayers money and expanded his land. Now he is boosting. Look at the way he talks! The way he talks? can he really be Governor? We won’t accept,” Natembeya said.
He added, “Let them talk, abuse me and do anything they want. But 2022, they will be voted out. The problem bedeviling Trans Nzoia people -has just walked out. They come and find a meeting, where people are settled and they disrupt it and walk away, very ill mannered. Shame” Natembeya said.
