Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has been sent away by police officers of the Nyanchwa police station in Kisii County after attempting to file death threat claims against President William Ruto.
Omtatah was allegedly referred to Nyanchwa police station by officers from Mosocho Police Station, where he made a similar report against Ruto.
Omtatah alleged that Ruto made death threats against him and others thwarting his policies during a church fundraiser at Cardinal High School in Mosocho, where he conducted a fundraiser on Saturday, December 16.
The senator claimed that he felt threatened because he challenged the Housing Levy in court. During the fundraiser, President Ruto promised to deal with those planning to sabotage his legacy project.
“You gave me the powers. All these people who want to block us will face me. I will deal with them; I just need your prayer,” Ruto said.
“Because you know I was given a big sword (during his inauguration), do you think that sword is for chopping vegetables? Is it not for slashing these conmen? I will slash them for real.”
