This comes amid plans by a rival section of leaders to convene a parallel meeting at the Nabongo Grounds in Mumias, within Kakamega.

On the other hand, Atwoli and his colleagues in support of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) are planning a consultative forum for the BBI report at the Bukhungu Stadium.

Speaking at the Stadium on Wednesday, the trade unionist claimed that the leaders planning to attend the Mumias function will not even be allowed out of their houses.

"We have the names of all those speaking about Mumias and none will leave their houses. They will only be let out after Bukhungu meeting (Wale watu wote wanasema mambo ya Mumias tuna majina yao na hakuna mtu atatoka kwa nyumba yake, that one I can assure you for free. Watafunguliwa baada ya mkutano kuisha)," he told the press.

He further warned Kenyans planning to attend the function not to, suggesting that it might not be good for the citizens.

"Don't try to go to Mumias (Usijaribu kuenda Mumias)," added the leader after touring the venue for the Saturday function.

The Mumias meeting has been convened by leaders opposed to the BBI forums, and who have been claiming that the Bukhungu function has been sponsored by the ODM party.

Similarly, some like ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi and his Ford Kenya counterpart Moses Wetangula have claimed that they were never invited to the BBI forum.

Already, the police have ruled out chances of the meeting going on as planned, citing shortage if police officers, majority of whom are set to man the Bukhungu function.
