MCA-elect Kabuchai summoned over alleged coffee theft

The Kabuchai ward by-election winner in Bungoma County, Erick Wekesa, has been summoned by DCI officers to appear at Kapsabet police station in Nandi County to record a statement over allegations of coffee theft in the Tinderet area, claims he describes as shocking, insisting he has no links to coffee farming and is not from that region. Wekesa alleges this is part of a scheme by political rivals, unhappy with his victory, to block his swearing-in, just days after he fled his home, fearing for his safety. He is now urging the government to guarantee his security before he presents himself on Tuesday, insisting there is a hidden agenda behind his summoning.
