Sunday, August 6, 2023 –Brian Anyango, Member of County Assembly MCA from Siaya County, was stabbed a total of five times on Saturday August 5.
The South Gem Ward MCA met this unhealthy attack when he had gone to attend a local funeral service in his area.
A source who spoke to Homenews.co.ke explained how the politician encountered a rough time while in the funeral event.
The source told this desk that, during his address, he was constantly shouted down as he attempted to condole the bereaved family.
At some point, a local bolted out from the crowd, went and grabbed his microphone amid booing and heckling. A charged crowd then surrounded the scene leaving the MCA bleeding on the ground.
The victim has been fighting political survival after he started having links with the Kenya Kwanza camp; the recent meeting he attended saw him discuss politics with Transport and Roads Cabinet Secretary CS Kipchumba Murkomen. This particular meeting made his matters at home worse.
This year alone, Anyango was captured on media in a meeting with both Murkomen and ICT Cabinet Secretary CS Eliud Owalo.
Police report of Saturday has indicated that the politician was attacked and stabbed with a sharp object, multiple times.
Gem Subcounty Police Commander Cecilia Kemboi made this confirmation saying the victim was immediately rushed to a nearby facility for urgent medical attention.
He would be transferred to Kisumu County Referral Hospital KCRH following a report filed at Akala Police Station in Siaya.
Sought for a comment after visiting the MCA in the hospital, Gem Member of Parliament Elisha Odhiambo alleged that the goons who executed the attack wanted him(the MCA)dead.
