Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Members of County Assembly in Kakamega County have hit out at Mumias East MP Peter Salasya over a recent alleged attack on Malaha-Isongo-Makunga MCA Peter Walunya.<\/p>\n

Majority leader Philip Maina has noted that the incident portrayed a sad state of security affairs for the more than 80 MCAs in Kakamega County.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to tell MPs in general that MCAs have no war with them and they should respect us. Today our area chief has said we are safe here and I want him to escort me to town,\u201d Maina said.<\/p>\n

Maina was speaking during a church service at Believers Rival Mission Church in Butsotso East ward, Lurambi constituency.<\/p>\n

Maina recalled an incident that took place in Khwisero constituency that led to a strenuous relationship between MPs and MCAs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe condemn that uncalled for action and for that reason; we will have a meeting tomorrow as MCAs to address the issue. MCAs have been elected, just like MPs the only difference is the area of jurisdiction,\u201d Maina added.<\/p>\n

In a viral clip, Salasya on Friday was seen reportedly slapping Walunya after an altercation where the MP asked Walunya to go back to his seat.<\/p>\n

Residents at the funeral thereafter chased Salasya and his team and allegedly shattered his vehicle\u2019s back windows.<\/p>\n

\u201cI Peter Salasya wishes to express sincere apology to the people of Mumias East and all Kenyans at large. My actions in the recent past have not been that of a role model or an example to the young men and women. Going forward I promise to control my anger and reaction. Ni shetani aki,\u201d Salasya tweeted.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Kakamega Deputy Speaker Ben Shitiabayi called out the lawmaker urging him to respect leaders as he urged MPs from Kakamega County to help in containing the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you go to the national assembly tell MP Salasya to stop saying MCAs are mature. It is a bad habit that he keeps attacking and disrespecting both his seniors and juniors,\u201d Shitiabayi said.<\/p>\n
