On August 19, 2019, Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei made inflammatory remarks at the funeral of the late teacher Dominic Kiptoo Choge in O'lessos.
The Senator claimed that supporters of Deputy President were 'marking and profiling' those opposed to his presidential bid, and warned that when the time comes, they would 'deal with' the DP's opponents.
As a result, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has summoned Cherargei to appear at their offices in Nandi East on Wednesday, August 21, to explain his remarks.
Should the Senator fail to honour the summons, he will be rendered liable to prosecution.
Cherargei's remarks have sparked controversy, with the DCI taking action to investigate the matter further.
