He expressed frustration that Namwamba had not shown up to a tournament that he had organized, despite saying that he would attend. He explained that he had seen the two together at a time when he was trying to contact the CS and had felt frustrated by the situation
"The problem was with the CS. He told me he was coming for my tournament, but didn't show up. I called him repeatedly but he never picked. So if someone doesn't pick up your calls from an MP what about only seeing him na ule mdada. Why talk to her and not me an MP?" Salasya said.
