The NASA leadership has raised the alarm over why Mumias manager Ronald Lubya was killed.
Speaking on Monday shortly after the incident was reported, ANC leader and NASA co-principal blamed the killing on the Jubilee government arguing that Lubya was eliminated after he refused to cooperate on a dubious way of raising cash through illegal sugar imports.
He said it was a sad state of affairs even after he reported the matter to the citizens during the Saturday NASA rally in Kakamega.
“It is very sad that moments after I had issued a statement in Bhukungu Stadium warning public officers against being forced into signing for the withdrawal of company money to go towards financing election campaigns of the Jubilee government, on Sunday night, the company secretary of Mumias Sugar, who had refused to bow to such demands was shot dead in his house and his wife raped,” ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi said.
The NASA leadership has now demanded investigations into the matter.
The Opposition flagbearer Raila Odinga likened Lubya's killing to that of city businessman and government critic Jacob Juma early last year.
He said the killing was orchestrated by the state to instil fear among opposition supporters.
“It is only last year when they killed my friend Jacob Juma after he revealed a plan to assassinate me and until today the investigations have never been completed. They have now killed the Mumias company secretary for objecting the signing of illegal importation of sugar from Sudan through Uganda,” Raila said
Lubya was shot dead Sunday night in his house in Matungu by three gunmen.
