The ODM party has expressed concern over plans by some senior security officers to allegedly plant weapons in the rural home of Kisii Governor Simba Arati as part of a wider scheme to settle political scores.

The party's secretary general Edwin Sifuna challenged the national government to uphold the constitutional provisions on how to relate with county governments to realise development instead of using security agencies to harass and intimidate governors.

Sifuna said for the last year, the party has keenly been following happenings in Kisii where senior security officials have allegedly been frustrating Arati's efforts to deliver his mandate as governor.

“We have heard an audio clip of a senior security official working in Kisii county explaining to someone how they are going to deal with Governor Simba Arati by invading his rural home and planting some weapons so as to fix him to please their political masters,” he claimed.

The Nairobi Senator called on Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki to take disciplinary action against officers hell-bent on causing chaos in the county and blaming it on the governor.
