Former Agriculture Principal Secretary Richard Lesiyampe has reported to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Samburu after an incident saw bullets hit his convoy.
According to the former PS, unnamed individuals did not want him to step foot in Samburu North and Samburu East.
Lesiyampe further narrated how he visited Samburu North to attend a family friend’s wedding in the company of two other vehicles.
One of the vehicles in his convoy, according to Lesiyampe, went to pick up other guests the following day, and the other vehicle, belonging to the Samburu County Government, was sprayed with bullets.
Lesiyampe has now called on the DCI to investigate the alleged assassination attempt and bring those responsible to justice.
He also noted a past assassination case from 2024 in Samburu County where Angata Nanyekie Member of the County Assembly (MCA) Paul Leshimpriro was killed.
The late MCA’s vehicle was ambushed by unknown men on a sunday morning while he was returning home from Maralal Town.
