MP Peter Salasya beaten and forced out of Nyayo National Stadium (video)

Mumias East Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Salasya has been beaten and chased out of the Nyayo National Stadium.

Salasya was among the fans who had arrived at the stadium on Sunday, March 23, to watch the ongoing Kenya National men’s football team Harambee Stars 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier match against Gabon.

Salasya who was donning an AFC Leopards jersey can be seen engaging in a scuffle with a section of fans inside a stadium.

At some point, one of the assailants is seen hitting Salasya with a trash bin which landed on his face as some fans and his security team try to shield him.

Another video shows the MP being escorted outside the stadium by Police officers and his security team which shielded him as he rushed towards his car.

Some of the fans could be heard chanting “Heshimu Rais! Heshimu Raila!”

Following the incident, Saboti MP Caleb Amisi came out to call out those behind the attack.

“This is uncouth uncalled for and lugubrious. Whoever planned this against @PKsalasya must be brought to book. It must stop. Freedom of speech and expression is guaranteed in our constitution. We may not agree on how he does his things, but this is a young man trying his luck in life,” he said.

Salasya’s DAP-K Party also condemned the attack in a statement moments later.

“The attack on our legislator Peter Salasya by organized goons at Nyayo stadium is very unfortunate, backwardness and ill-intentioned by known party goons,” the party said.
