Sirisia MP John Waluke has revealed how his 'political friends' abandoned him after he was charged in the Sh313 million National Cereal and Produce Board fraud case last year.

Speaking during the funeral service of political mobiliser Joseph Kubende in Bahai village, Kimilili constituency, Bungoma county on Saturday, April 1, the MP, alleged that Azimio leaders frustrated him and deserted him.

"They are the same people who wooed me to join Azimio and promised to ensure the graft case I was facing is dropped but that never happened," said Waluke, who was elected on a Jubilee ticket in last year's elections.
