A Kisumu based businessman has accused Gem Member of Parliament (MP) Elisha Odhiambo of allegedly threatening his life.
The business man, identified as Erick Rabwogi claimed that he was attacked by youth who had accompanied the MP at a certain bar over the weekend.
"The youth beat me up as they took me to where the MP was. The MP then threatened to shoot me. The MP was threatening me and saying there is nowhere I can take him. I however, managed to escape,” he told the press in Kisumu on Monday.
When reached for a comment, the vocal legislator denied the claims.
According to the business man, the MP might be after him, because he testified against him in an election petition case filed by former Gem MP Washington Jakoyo Midwo.
Rabwogi noted that he had to seek medical attention after sustaining injuries on various parts of his body, following the alleged altercation with the MP.
He has since reported the matter to the police, and now wants action taken against the first time lawmaker.
