The Kakamega Small Claims Court (SCC) has ordered Mumias East MP Peter Kalerwa Salasya to appear on August 1, 2024, to explain why he should not be arrested and committed to civil jail for six months for failure to pay a debt.
Kakamega SCC adjudicator Carolyne Cheriuiyot directed the MP to "appear in person or through his advocate to address your failure to pay businessman Robert Lutta a sum of Sh565,712." Salasya borrowed the money from Lutta but failed to repay it.
