There was a dramatic scene witnessed in Mombasa County today. Mumias East member of Parliament Honorable Peter Kalerwa Salasya escaped from determined gun men who were after him and his allies.
From the video witnessed by us, the armed men came to pick Salasya in an unmarked vehicle. The car did not have number plates leaving Salasya and his supporters shocked.
The masked men were seen moving from one floor to another looking for Salasya as his supporters and bodyguards demanded to know the reasons for his arrest.

When the noise became too loud, the armed men left the venue without arresting anyone leaving Salasya and his team celebrating.
The legislator has taken to his social media accounts to condemn the event. He has insisted that he is a law abiding citizen and hence it was wrong to send masked armed men to arrest him in an unmarked vehicle. He called on Police officers to move swiftly and arrest those men who failed to identify themselves.
Salasya has also maintained that he will not be intimidated by anyone on his ambition to run for the top seat. He is touring Mombasa before embarking on his Nyanza tour later. Kenyans are praising him for his bold move.
