He said that a number of police officers approached his gate on Friday night in a Land Cruiser that lit his bedroom.

The MP who was on a high alert over his safety acted promptly by running through the back door.

“I knew my time had come, that is why I escaped through the back door, to the bush next to my house,” said Washiali.

“I stayed there for about one hour and fifteen minutes when I received rescue from a taxi driver, a friend of mine,” added the MP.

He further said that the taxi driver drove him to Kisumu where he spent the rest of the night, and later on took a flight back to his family.

His allies, who are legislators linked to Deputy President William Ruto had earlier on reported his disappearance as a plot by Pro-BBI team to eliminate him after he opposed the report.

They went ahead to state that Washiali had received a threat through a phone call.

However, Washiali himself reputed the claims saying that he had not received a phone call of that kind.

Together with fellow, Pro- Ruto MPs from Western Kenya, he was behind a meeting to be held in Mumias with an intention of countering a BBI consultative forum held at Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega.
