“I have identified all of them face by face and even to Kibera where they stay."

Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya now says he has identified all the goons who attacked him on Sunday at the Nyayo National Stadium.

In a statement on Monday, March 24, Salasya said he even has information on where his attackers stay in Kibera.

“I have identified all of them face by face and even to Kibera where they stay, even some people’s houses don’t have doors. The good news is that beating up Peter Salasya is not an achievement but a curse to them. You can't beat an anointed person and go scot-free,” said Salasya. 

The Mumias East lawmaker went on to say the goons were lucky he was not carrying his firearm and was not in the company of his bodyguards. 

“They were lucky I didn't carry my arms, I didn't have a single bodyguard, I was only with a friend because I knew football brings people together even those with different ideologies but it turned the way it turned,” he stated.

Salasya was on Sunday afternoon roughed up and chased out of the Nyayo stadium by a group of individuals.

Videos circulating on social media showed the Mumias East lawmaker being physically confronted before being forced to flee the stadium.

In a separate video from the stadium's parking lot, one of the attackers could be heard shouting 'heshimu Raila' as they chased Salasya away.

Meanwhile, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has condemned the attack on Salasya saying the incident is an unfortunate act of political intolerance.

"What happened to Hon. Peter Salasya at Nyayo Stadium today is unfortunate. Political intolerance undermines the very foundation of our democracy, which relies on the ability to engage with differing views," Mudavadi stated.
