Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati has temporarily suspended his gubernatorial campaigns after his ally Richard Onyonka, Kitutu Chache South MP, was allegedly poisoned in a meeting held on Friday in Kisii county.
While addressing the press on Sunday, Arati said they were at a meeting in Kiamukama Ward in Kisii County when an unidentified person passed a bottle of water to MP Onyonka that was suspected of being laced with a poisonous substance.
Onyonka who recently decamped from Ford Kenya to ODM is said to have barely drunk the water after 'he felt the taste was different and immediately spat it out'.
"However his body reacted immediately and he started vomiting with blood oozing from his mouth," said MP Arati.
"We quickly rushed him to Oasis Hospital where upon examination the doctors at the hospital noted that the contents honorsble Onyonka ingested from the bottle were not swallowed. However an examination of his mouth showed an erosion of his mouth lining," he added.
Doctors are yet to establish the type of chemical injected in the bottle, with MP Arati calling on the authorities to expedite investigations and bring those involved in the incident to book.
