Drama as former MP pulls gun at club, threatens Speaker Wetang’ula aide
Drama as former MP pulls gun at club, threatens Speaker Wetang’ula aide
Drama ensued at the Kitale Club in Trans Nzoia County on Saturday, September 20 night after National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula’s aide, Ben Juma, stormed a meeting to confront Joseph Pepela.
The incident occurred as Pepela was holding a meeting with former Kiminini Member of Parliament Chris Wamalwa.
In a video, Juma is heard accusing Pepela of disrespecting Speaker Wetang’ula.
However, Wamalwa intervened, drew his gun out to defend Pepela, and asked Juma to get out of the club.
“Please get out, this is a private place, you can’t come and fight here,” the former MP said while brandishing his gun.
Juma told Wamalwa that he had no issues with him, but only with Pepela, and asked the former MP to let them handle the matter with him.
“Pepela must show respect to the party leader, let him step outside. He keeps invoking the party leader’s name too often. Chris, we respect you, but who is Pepela? We will teach this young man some manners. We will deal with him accordingly,” Juma stated.

Following the incident, Juma was escorted out of the club by security personnel to prevent the situation from escalating further.
The incident comes days after Kitutu Chache South MP Antoney Kibagendi and his Kitutu Chache North counterpart Japheth Nyakundi clashed at a funeral in Kisii County.
The two MPs were standing on the podium before Kibagendi launched a scathing attack against President William Ruto.
“We were hoodwinked as a community and as a nation to elect a president who is a liar,” Kibagendi said before Nyakundi interjected him.
The two continued speaking simultaneously, each holding a microphone, as tension built up among the mourners.
The situation escalated when the MPs began pushing each other across the podium, drawing cheers from sections of the crowd.
Nyakundi attempted to shove Kibagendi off the raised podium, prompting their security teams to rush forward and separate them.
