The wrangles erupted after lawyer-turned-activist Morara Kebaso accessed the venue in the company of a group of youths. Upon his entrance, a set of rowdy goons began pelting chairs at the activist forcing him to scamper for safety.

In the footage obtained by Kenyans.co.ke, Morara was captured attempting to shield himself from the angry residents who persistently threw objects at him.

As the situation escalated, police officers who were on high alert quickly intervened and ejected the activist from the hall before quelling the violence that forced the delegates to temporarily suspend the exercise.

While commenting on the outrageous, provocative scrimmage, Kebaso disclosed that he was injured during the wrangles and that he would head to the hospital for treatment.

“I was barred from entering Bomas at the gate. When I finally got in, I was denied the mic on Bomas floor. Chaos erupted. I am hurt. Headed to hospital. I live to speak another day,” Kebaso stated through his X account.

Morara had initially pledged to oppose the impeachment of the deputy president claiming that the latter was elected jointly with President William Ruto thus impeaching him would be inconsequential. The lawyer demanded that if Gachagua was to be impeached then he must leave the office alongside the president.

According to Kebaso, the narrative on Gachagua’s impeachment was a scheme by President Ruto’s administration to divert the attention of Kenyans from controversial government projects such as the Social Health Authority (SHA). “They have managed to divert our attention from critical issues such as the Adani deal,” Kebaso alleged.

The latest violent incident witnessed at the Bomas of Kenya comes hardly minutes after similar incidents were reported in Nyeri and Kiambu counties after residents declined to undertake public participation in the impeachment of the second in command.

The residents while protesting, accused President Ruto’s administration of a political witchhunt against Gachagua. According to them, the deputy president was elected alongside the president and that dismissing him would also mean impeaching Ruto.

“No Rigathi, no Ruto. Don’t try to touch the mountain. We are strongly behind Gachagua,” the residents shouted as they called for the suspension of public participation claiming that the deputy president’s impeachment was founded on weak grounds.

Nyeri residents while protesting, barricaded the main road that accesses the town, forcing police officers to intervene. However, the adamant protesters vowed to continue demonstrating against the DP’s impeachment…CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ARTICLES>>>
