Political commentator Joseph Simekha has told former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale to stop bragging about how he faced off with Kibra youths on Thursday last week.
This is after the senator was caught on camera facing off with angry youths who kicked him out of Laini Saba ward on the by-election day, engaging the youths in stone-throwing.
This has been followed by bragging from the politician that he took the group on as his culture does not allow him to let boys challenge him, saying that he fought the youths.
Simekha now says that Khalwale was only spared, as the group would have beaten him up if it wanted, adding that nothing prevented them to do so if they wanted.
"Those young people who confronted Khalwale, if they wanted to stone him they would have done so. What prevented them?" he said on KBC English Service, Wednesday.
According to Simekha, also a governance and public policies expert, the youths appear to have only been against Khalwale being there, given that it was an election day.
He is of the idea that they know him and only wanted to tease him, though Khalwale has claimed that it was a group of 30 youths and he wanted to take them on 'like a real bullfighter'.
"They know him, I think they just wanted to tease and mock him. Otherwise, they would have stoned him," he added.
