“When I was coming home, I received information that I was being trailed. So I decided to change my route. I told my people to open the gate so that I could get into the compound quickly. My security team that was coming for me, met them (the gunmen) where they were hiding along the way. My team fired at them twice. They also exchanged fire with the team, thinking that I was in the car.”
Magwanga moreover disclosed that he was taking precautionary measures with the police investigating the matter.
The attack comes days after the burial of Kasipul MP Charles Were, who was killed along Ngong Road on April 30.
