Mumias East Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Salasya has recounted surviving a 3 am serious crash in a forest two months before the last general elections.
Taking to his Instagram account on Tuesday, September 10, 2024, the youthful legislature narrated how he and his team survived the accident after their vehicle hit a tree in the undisclosed forest.
Additionally, the DAP-K lawmaker disclosed that, during campaigns, politicians go through a lot of challenges.
Salasya further stated that the horrifying experience has influenced his spiritual life, adding that he would never leave the house without praying.
“God is faithful indeed. If there are hard times for a politician (it is) during campaigns. A lot happens. We survived a very dangerous accident at 3 am just 2 months before the election in the forest. When the vehicle lost control I started calling upon Jesus loudly when we had lost hope and something happened instantly when the vehicle hit a big tree,” Salasya narrated.
“This is the reason I said I would never leave the house without making my prayer before I leave the house.”
Salasya vs goons
In August 2024, the first-time MP shared a photo of him with a touchy caption narrating how he was a victim of political attacks.
The vocal lawmaker further disclosed that in 2021 during campaigns, he was physically assaulted by goons hired by his opponents adding that he was badly injured forcing him to seek medical attention.
“Hapa sikuwa nimelewa ilikuwa 2021 nimeundwa vilivyo na goons saa nane mchana pale Kakamega town. I had gone to hospital pale Kakamega CGH tena wakaniwekea nilikuwa nimeiba simu. Aki niliteseka nikifikirianga tu mashida nilipitia husema wacha tu God aitwe God .sometimes frustrations we go through open another door,“Salasya narrated.
