“I did not obtain this land illegally. It was advertised. I applied and got it, I was running to a petrol station called Ajip petrol station,” he said.

He accused the Bungoma government of disobeying a court order that was granted to suspend the demolition of the building.

“We have a ruling in six months, why not wait for six months then you can make a decision,” Wangamati stated.

The former governor further blamed the demolition of their family property on a political witch-hunt.

"I can tell you without any fear of contradiction that this is witch-hunt about 2027 politics," he insisted.

On the other hand, Patrick Wangamati insisted that they have legal documents to prove the leasehold of the said piece of land.
