What made an influential Jubilee lawmaker change his mind about accompanying President Uhuru Kenyatta to Nyanza last week?

legislator who was among those that were in Kisumu International Airport to welcome the President vanished shortly after the Head of State arrived.

The outspoken politician was expected to accompany Uhuru, Raila and Deputy President William Ruto but seems to have somehow had second thoughts about the whole trip.

Before disappearing, the lawmaker took a selfie which he posted on social media perhaps to reassure his followers that he was in the lakeside city.

He later quietly the same afternoon flew out of the country to a neighbouring state on an unknown mission.

What scared the youthful leader is yet to be understood by those close to him!
