Isiolo Senator Dullo Claims Plot To Assassinate Her Over Feud With Governor Guyo

Speaking on the floor of the Senate, the lawmaker said a meeting was held on October 30, 2024, attended by 10 county government employees, where discussions centred on planning an attempt on her life.

The senator said she has since reported the threats to her life to the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI).

“This conversation allegedly included plans for my assassination, posing a very real and serious threat to my life. I am, therefore, deeply concerned for my well-being,” said Ms Dullo.

“I would like to state categorically that should anything happen to me, my family, my employees or my supporters, the county government of Isiolo must be held accountable.”

She added that her county office was recently broken into and items stolen under suspicious circumstances.

In addition, the legislator claimed that her staff and supporters have also been subjected to constant harassment, including confrontation by hired thugs and repeated summons by security agencies in Isiolo to intimidate and discourage them from supporting her work.

The third term senator revealed that she has credible information of plans to prevent her from accessing the county.

“These acts not only undermine my work but raises questions about the lengths certain individuals are willing to go to hinder my office operations,” said Ms Dullo.

When contacted for comment, Governor Guyo said: “Let her (Dullo) report to the DCI to investigate instead of using the floor of the House to propagate lies.”

Migori Senator Eddy Oketch called on his colleagues to suspend the activities of the House because one of them was being threatened for exercising her oversight role.

He argued that if a senator is being threatened by a governor, then the entire house is under threat.

“The threat that has been channelled towards the Senator of Isiolo is something that we must all speak to. Today, the county assemblies have all closed across the country for 14 days until the missing Member of the County Assemblies (MCAs) is produced,” said Mr Oketch.

“What is happening in Isiolo County is long overdue for us to bring the governor of Isiolo County to this House and question him on why he is a hindrance to devolution when senators are fighting to protect devolution.”
