Natembeya Reveals Wetangula Blunder That Led to Chaos During Burial.
Natembeya Reveals Wetangula Blunder That Led to Chaos During Burial: Natembeya has expressed that the chaos ensued after several buses arrived at the burial site, transporting unidentified individuals from Bungoma.
He detailed that he received a call a day earlier and was warned against attending the burial ceremony, as someone had hired buses to ferry people from Bungoma for the burial.
“I was warned not to go to the burial because they suspected something was going to happen,” he stated.
The governor further added that upon arrival at the burial site, he found all police officers surrounding speaker Moses Wetangula, which ignited rage among the youths on the ground.
While Expressing disappointment with National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula, Natembeya highlighted that the speaker left out information on why he attended the burial, contrary to protocol.
Natembeya has therefore requested investigations to establish the person behind the instructions to lobby teargas at him and the youths on the ground, terming it as unconstitutional.
“Whoever instructed those people to fire the teargas at us should be arrested. Because there were old people and women present at the burial,” he added.
However, leaders such as Ferdinand Wanyonyi have condemned Governor Natembeya over the chaos, citing that he could have handled the situation better.
“The governor is not above the law. Only the president is. If he was warned why did he come,” Wanyonyi stated.
