A 2022 election loser has been sentenced to two years in prison without option of a fine for threatening to kill a sitting Member of the County Assembly (MCA) in Makueni County.

Dennis Wambua Masavu (pictured) was convicted by Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate Zainab Abdul for threatening to kill Kiteta Kisau Ward Representative Dennis Kioko Mainga.

Masavu, who suffered a double defeat at the polls and in the court, vowed to end Mainga’s life.

Masavu was charged with threatening to kill Mainga on March 11, 2023, at Ngoni village in Mbooni East Constituency, Makueni County.

In her ruling, Abdul noted that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) office in Nairobi investigated Masavu after local police detectives failed to act despite several reports from the MCA.
