How do you often sort out your disagreements with your opposition? Perhaps we need to train our MCA’s before our representatives end up dying while fighting for their stand.
Lotela and the three other MCAs, all elected on KANU party tickets, disagreed on whom they would have on the new public service board. Jubilee Party had already nominated their member to the board and were awaiting KANU’s nominee.
Lotela, who is the Silale Ward Rep, was assaulted by the leaders as he supported the motion to disband the board and create a new one.
Totela was hospitalized this morning after three of his colleagues reportedly beat him up after they differed on the disbandment of county public service board.
This is the second time Mr Lotela was making it to the news this year. Two months ago, the Baringo politician was abducted and later found in Nakuru at a maize plantation.
The suspects in the abduction dropped him at a farm in Rongai area. Lotela narrated how the attackers drove past him before blocking him and forcing his driver to stop the car.
He claimed that four armed men emerged from the car and attacked him. In his account, Lotela revealed that the attackers asked him whether he was a spokesperson for the Pokot community before accusing him of ‘blocking an operation’.
He added the abductors drove him into a forest and informed him that they were “doing what they were told to do.”
Members of the public discovered him near the maize farm and took him to Kabarak University Hospital where he was treated and discharged.
Lotela’s wife further accused the men who abducted her husband of threatening her.
Lotela’s wife revealed that some officers drove to her home intending to pick her up to Mogotio DCIO offices. She claims the officers asked her to board a car she only identifies as a KCA 212P and wanted her to accompany them to the Mogotio DCI officers. She declined to board the car which she says was the one used to abduct Lotela.
Why do you think Lotela is always the victim in this rivalries?
