They claimed that elected members of Parliament from the county who supported the impeachment of the Deputy President had interfered with the exercise and hence residents suspected plans to influence the public submissions by the National Assembly.

Police were called in to bring normalcy but members of the public stormed out of the Hall chanting ‘no Rigathi, no Ruto’ during the exercise.A National Assembly Representative found herself on the receiving end as she was accused of allegedly acting and receiving directions from the MPs.

Anti-riot police officers were deployed to the scene to contain the situation even as the residents continued with the protests.However, residents agreed to take part in the exercise and called on the National Assembly to ensure their views were put into consideration as they expressed their support to have the impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua dropped.

Friday, members of the public will have the opportunity to submit their views regarding the special motion to remove the deputy President from office.In the impeachment motion, Gachagua faces accusations of dividing Kenyans along ethnic lines, undermining the presidency, violating his oath of office, and contradicting the National Cohesion and Integration Act.
