MP Peter Salasya’s public attacks on Governor Natembeya have taken a controversial turn after a prominent businessman threatened to expose alleged personal misconduct involving a woman linked to another politician.
The businessman questioned why Salasya suddenly began attacking the governor while aligning himself with the government’s position.
“I want to give Salasya a final warning. We know this man has been sponsored by some Kenya Kwanza sycophants to start a war with Natembeya. This war will have serious casualties—he better stop,” the businessman said.
He alleged that the MP has been involved with a woman previously connected to another politician from the western region and warned him to address his personal conduct before making public statements.
“Let me not go into details, but if you continue, then this war will have a sad ending. We know you more than you know yourself,” he added.
Prior to his attacks on Natembeya, the MP has been seen associating with Kenya Kwanza administration officials who have been critical of the governor.
Political experts believe he may have received financial incentives to target Natembeya, who is viewed as a significant challenge to the current regime.
“His close friends are MPs allied to President William Ruto who are well known to be critical of Governor George Natembeya. What do you expect from him?” said a political analyst.
