Mr Ochar reported the matter to the police complaining that Ouya called him and threatened to shoot him in Kisumu Town.

“He called me on his official mobile phone and started questioning why county ODM Chairman Kennedy Ajwang’ and I were ‘plotting his downfall’. He then told me that he will shoot me wherever we meet,” Mr Ochar said.

In 2015, Mr Ouya drew his gun after a disagreement ensued at a funeral in Koru and shot in the air forcing mourners to scamper for safety.
