Lotela allegedly was assaulted by three of his colleagues at the county assembly following differences over the disbandment of the County Assembly Service Board.

He supported the disbandment of the board and have a new one in place.

The MCA allegedly wanted Solomon Makal who was a member of the board ousted and replaced with Shadrack Mailuk. This led to a confrontation between Makal and Mailuk supporters.

The service board which constitutes of six members; one Jubilee MCA, One KANU MCA, the Speaker of the County Assembly who is the chairperson, two officials outside the Assembly and the  Clerk was disbanded over mismanagement.

MCAs said the board has failed in the management of the Assembly affairs, delay of salary, lack of MCA's airtime for communication to their electorates while coordinating for Ward projects and lack of funds for fuel.
