Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa on Tuesday accused Mr Wamalwa of politicking at the expense of the lives of residents.
"Wamalwa is taking the luhya nation for a ride, how do you hire a helicopter to come and distribute ten bags of rice donated by government," Mr Barasa claimed.
Over the weekend Mr Wamalwa distributed rice to Khasoko residents in Bumula and Webuye after meeting with Luhyia elders where him and Kakamega Governor Wyclife Oparanya were endorsed as luhya spokespersons.
Mr Barasa further accused Wamalwa of using government resources to do politics saying his forays in the region were nothing to do with development but 2022 succession politics.
"Wamalwa and the four governors are roaming the region in the name of sensitizing residents about development issues, this is serious because they are holding public meetings which endangers the lives of our people," Mr Barasa said.
