Cord Leader Raila Odinga and Kwale County Governor Salim Mvurya (right) being attacked by an Elderly man at Kinango grounds in Kwale County Lengo Karisa Mudzomba, the man who whipped CORD leader Raila Odinga in Kinango has explained why he decided to hit the former Prime Minister and Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya.

Mr Mudzomba said he was annoyed by the fact that “huge handouts that were being dished out were not reaching me”. The remorseful Mudzomba was speaking to his employer, Nassim Issa, who described Mudzomba as a polite and law-abiding citizen.

Ms Issa yesterday said she knew Mudzomba as a harmless man who “has never insulted anyone since I employed him three months ago”. Issa narrated how on Monday, Mudzomba had returned home fuming and when she asked what the problem was, he retorted that he was upset about the Okoa Kenya campaign. “He asked me what we have to okoa (salvage) when almost everything was going wrong.
 He was disappointed that teachers and nurses were demanding pay hikes when people are dying of hunger,” she added.

She added that the man people claimed was annoyed because his wife danced “suggestively” was not married. But Issa’s description of her employee was in sharp contrast to the man captured on camera whipping the CORD leader and the Kwale governor. Meanwhile, police have been given two weeks to produce legal documents as evidence that Raila was assaulted in Kwale on Monday.

 Yesterday, the prosecution successfully applied for the court to give the police two weeks so that the P3 forms could be filled in a case where Mudzomba is charged with assaulting Raila and Mvurya. According to the charge sheet, the case was filed by James Mwamongo Dena on behalf of CORD while Richard Munyoki and Rashid Bora are listed as witnesses. Mudzomba is accused of assaulting the two leaders, causing bodily harm.
