A man in Bomet County is nursing serious injuries after allegedly being assaulted by area MP.
Police in Konoin, Bomet, are searching for area MP Brighton Yegon to record a statement in connection to the abduction of 29 year old Nicholas Ngetich who is nursing injuries
According to information from a local Daily, the MP is yet to respond to the summon.
The MP has denied beating up the man.
“Those are totally strange allegations…I am the one who saved him, I had to fix him in my car and in fact he is the one who requested that I should not drop him anywhere around that venue for fear of being attacked and so we had to take some distance away before dropping him,” said the MP, as quoted by a local daily.
Detectives said that they have started probing the incident and if the MP does not record a statement in the next two days, they will go to court and seek a warrant of arrest.
Ng’etich, who is from Kapset village, claims he was picked up by the MP who was in the company of six other people.
He said he was bundled into the car and driven to James Finlay tea estate. He said he was beaten up because of political differences with the MP.
Ngetich claimed he was driven around the tea plantation for more than three hours and was assaulted before being bundled out of the car.
He told journalists on Monday that he was on a boda-boda with two other people heading back home after a football match at Chebangangn when the incident occurred.
He recorded a statement at Konoin police station on Monday morning under OB NO. 23/15/10/2018. Ngetich who was accompanied by his parents had a bandaged hand and face.
“The MP’s driver stopped us and asked me to enter the vehicle. I refused, and he pulled me off the bike and pushed me into the vehicle and sped off,” Ng’etich claimed.
