Tiaty lawmaker Asman Kamama on Saturday escaped death after a group of residents in his constituency attempted to lynch him.
According to the irate residents, Kamama had failed to name the six gunmen from Tugen community who he alleged to have killed Loyamorok Ward MCA Kibet Cheretei and parliamentary seat aspirant Pepe Kitambaa.
The two politicians were shot dead by unknown gunmen at a nightclub in Marigat town, Baringo South last Saturday.
Kamama had been linked to the death of the two politicians, but denied the claims.
Speaking to a local daily on Sunday, Kamama downplayed the matter saying the chaos were caused by his political rivals.
"Just ignore the Saturday's chaos, those are my opponents who have always been trying to use this matter (insecurity) for their own political gains," the MP said.
The legislator had to take cover at Tangulbei secondary school where he was allegedly rescued by security officers from Chepkalacha police post.
