Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya on Tuesday, March 25, shared footage that appeared to address the root cause of his woes during Kenya's World Cup qualifier match against Gabon.

Salasya made national headlines on Sunday, March 23, after he suffered an assault and was subsequently hauled off from the stadium by a section of the crowd, who appeared intent on seeing him leave the grounds before kick-off.

Amid questions on what led to the altercation between the vocal lawmaker and fans on a day when Kenyans were united against Gabon, speculations have been rife that Salasya's assault was political.

The MP has also taken to social media in the wake of the assault to claim that sections of government allies had orchestrated the attack.
