On October 23, 2021, Nominated Member of Parliament Wilson Sossion addressed reports of his vehicle being pelted with stones by rowdy youths in Bomet Town.
Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, Sossion stated that a group of youths had been hired to prevent him from entering the town and addressing the residents.
He noted that their plans were thwarted before they could materialize.
"The vehicle was not pelted with stones. Some boys were hired by a rival politician to disrupt my rally, but I still addressed the residents. The unknown boys later came to my meeting and apologized for trying to disrupt it," Sossion said.
He added, "The boys tried to execute what they were paid to do, but it was a failed attempt."
Former Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary General Sossion was flanked by Nominated Member of Parliament David Ole Sankok during the incident.
Reports had indicated that a group of rowdy youths, linked to the planned attack, were loaded with crude items.
This comes as Sossion shifted his allegiance from the Orange Democratic Movement to United Democratic Alliance party, vouching for Deputy President William Ruto in the 2022 presidential race.
"I can count you as amongst the few brave and fearless leaders to take that route (surpass President Uhuru Kenyatta's development projects) in the African continent,” Sossion stated.
