Tough questions are being asked — why and who torched Rangwe MP Lilian Gogo’s rural home last night in Rangwe?
Ironically, last night and today most parts of Rangwe Sub-County are still experiencing a power blackout, including Gogo’s home area.
This points to arsonists for reasons yet to be determined.
The incident occurred on Friday night shortly after midnight, destroying property valued at millions of shillings, but the police were only able to contain and salvage the bedroom from the fire.
Rangwe OCPD Magdalene Chebet, who visited the scene, told journalists that police have launched an investigation into the incident.
She said that at the time of the incident there were employees at the home, and they had to break the gate and the doors to salvage property.
“We were told the husband came home and discharged all the employees from the home, and later locked his gate and the house before leaving for his workstation,” she said.
She added that Gogo was in Kisumu at the time of the incident and was engaged in the preparation and arrangements for the burial of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
