Kimilili Constituency’s Returning Officer George Omondi has refused to issue the certificate of Didmus Barasa to his agent, calling on the Legislator to come forward and pick it up in person.

“He should come and collect this certificate by himself. We are not giving it to a stranger,” said Mr. Omondi

The UDA candidate for Kimilili parliamentary seat won the elections but has since gone into hiding following the alleged murder of the aide to his political rival Mr. Bryan Khaemba at one of the polling stations.

Despite calls by security agencies urging the MP to surrender, the Legislator is yet to turn up at any of the nearest police stations as directed.

“DPP, Noordin Haji, has given directions to have Hon. Didimus Barasa apprehended, record a statement & have the relevant file availed to his office for appropriate action.

Mr. Barasa who is the incumbent MP, Kimilili Constituency, was reported to have shot and killed Brian Olunga, on 9th Aug. 2022 at Chebukwabi Polling Station. Mr. Olunga was a bodyguard to Mr. Brian Khaemba, who was Mr. Barasa’s opponent in the elections.

According to police in Bungoma, the MP is still at large and his phone is switched off.” said DPP

The last time the police tracked his phone, it was revealed that the Legislator was heading to Uganda but the signal has since gone silent. Barasa has however been active on Twitter forcing the police to deploy cyber crime detectives to locate him.

Hon. Didmus is accused of shooting Mr. Barasa’s aide in the head who was confirmed dead as he was being rushed to the hospital for treatment.
