Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has condemned the chaos witnessed during the Kibra by-election last week on Thursday.
In an interview with NTV on Tuesday, Khalwale said that it is saddening for leaders and Kenyans to make a joke out of the scenes doing rounds online.
He noted that his life was in danger before he decided to pick stones in Kibra. He claimed that the angry youths wanted to harm him and he had no choice but to defend himself.
"Some people are making a joke out of an issue of life and death. A man must have the capacity to defend himself, his family and his country," he said.
Khalwale who has vowed to stand with Deputy President William Ruto in 2022, also said that he has learned a lesson that ODM leader Raila Odinga's supporters can stop violence if they are confronted.
"I have learnt a lesson from # KibraByElection. It was possible for Raila and his people to rewrite their signature of chaos," he said.
He also said that a man from his culture cannot run away after being confronted by a 'boy'.
"Never in the culture of a Luhya man can you allow an uncircumcised boy to challenge you and you run away," he said.
