Luhya Unity meeting led by Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula expected to happen this weekend has been thwarted by county security agencies.
Reports indicate security agencies from Luanda and Emuhaya sub-counties camped outside the home of Emuhaya MP Omboko Milemba to ensure the two parties did not continue with their planned meeting.
According to ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi, the tactic used by security agencies was a form of intimidation to stop the scheduled meeting from taking place.
