The abduction of Silale Ward Member of County Assembly Nelson Lotela on Sunday evening has raised concerns on who could be after the lives of MCAs from Tiaty Sub-county in Baringo.

The abduction comes hot in the heels of unresolved murder of two MCAs-Thomas Minito who was abducted in May last year in Kabarnet and his body found dumped in Oldonyo Sabuk and the killing of Kibet Cheretei together with Pepee Kitambaa by a gun man in Marigat last year February.
