On November 3, 2019, Etale sent a warning to their opponents in the Kibra-by elections after his party ODM wound up its public campaigns.
He stated that his party had wound up the campaigns and had declared all Hotels closed in a bid to clear out the people who had allegedly invaded their “bedroom”, Kibra.
We have wound up our public campaigns in Kibra. We have declared that all HOTELS should be closed. From tomorrow, the process of FUMIGATION will begin to clear cockroaches, bedbugs, mosquitoes and other insects from the bedroom. Hapo kitaeleweka.

The post received mixed reactions especially at the time when the campaigns had intensified and tension was high in some parts of the constituency.
For instance, it was said to have spread hate messages, going against the election code and ethics.

In another account of events, following the aftermath of the Kibra by elections, Jubilee MP Didmus Barasa was roughed up by goons allegedly linked with Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati.
In a viral video that circulated on social media, Barasa was attacked and had his trademark cap taken away.
Yesterday, Etale dared Barasa to make good his threats after he threatened to repaint ODM offices in Bungoma County if they failed to return his cap that was taken away during the election fracas.
Didmus Barasa, just try and make good your threats ndiyo utajuwa Kibra ilikuwa tu kuguza paka. Deface any ODM office in Bungoma ndiyo utajuwa kuingiza kidole kwa msamba wa kobe ni taabu.
