Nyandarua police have launched investigations into claims by East Africa Legislative Assembly MP Kanini Kega that his vehicle was sprayed with bullets by people he suspects were police officers.
He claims he was heading to Nyahururu from Ol Kalou by-election campaigns, which officially closed on Monday evening.
"The police officers were aiming at me. I noticed them aim the gun on me and directed my driver to speed off towards Nyahururu. I noticed they tried to pull the trigger but the gun failed to shoot. But they managed to spray my vehicle with bullets when we escaped," said the MP.
County Commissioner Abdirisack Jaldesa, however, says no official report has been made at any police station regarding the alleged attack.
