Governor Julius Malombe has accused Senator David Musila and former Lands CS Charity Ngilu of organising mobs to cause violence against him. Dr Malombe said the politicians’ action was meant to hog publicity during the burial of former Mayor Mary Mwangangi on Friday.

“Musila and Ngilu must take full responsibility for the injuries inflicted on Bishop Anthony Muheria while presiding over the funeral mass for Mrs Mwangangi,” said Malombe.

The governor observed that he was condoling with Mrs Mwangangi son, Gideon, who is a county enforcement officer.

“Ngilu is no stranger to violence and chaos. Over her political career, she has stormed police stations twice and released suspects. Today, she incited people to violence and demonised a mourning family,” he stated.

Mrs Mwangangi was a celebrated Mayor of Kitui who served the county with distinction.
