  "summary": "Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma has demanded a probe into the violence that occurred in Homa Bay on Sunday, accusing political figures of involvement. Kaluma alleges that Siaya Governor James Orengo, Senator Edwin Sifuna, former Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, former President Uhuru Kenyatta, and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua were directly involved in the unrest. He further claims that the violence was part of a political plot to destabilize Homa Bay County and undermine Governor Gladys Wanga's leadership. Kaluma has challenged investigators to uncover the ownership of the vehicles used during the incident, as well as the locations where individuals linked to the violence may have stayed or held meetings.",
