MCA Kisa East Stephen Maloba died from stab wounds after getting into a fight with individuals allegedly connected to Khwisero MP Christopher Aseka.
The ward representative’s demise was confirmed by the governor of Kakamega county, Fernandez Barasa.
Kakamega senator Boni Khalwale and deputy governor Ayub Savula both acknowledged the incident.
“We have got a problem in Khwisero. There has been a fight there pitting the MCA against the MP’s team. The MCA has been fatally stabbed and we are heading there,” said Savula.
Khalwale claimed that the deceased had communicated with him the day before and was vivacious at the time.
“I’m sorry that MCA Maloba has been stabbed to death… I’m headed there right away. We are not taking chaos there. He was at my home for breakfast the other day. My mood has been spoilt,” said Khalwale.
