The lawmaker, when he got to the podium, launched an attack on one of the kin of deceased academician Innocent Sangura.
Barasa accused the deceased’s uncle of failing to employ his fellow natives despite his position and influence.
“People of Bumula, your MP had a report indicating that Education CS Ezekiel Machogu had employed people from his community, and I told him that there is no problem with Machogu doing that. The problem is when our people like Sangura (kin to the deceased) who have influence and means but fail to use it employ their people,” said Barasa.
The sentiments welcomed a moment of chaos as a section of mourners left their seats to charge toward Barasa.
They accused him of attacking those already mourning, this as they shut him up with their heckling and noise.
“You must not speak here. You cannot attack someone who is mourning his deceased klin,” one of the mourners declared.
Barasa seemed overpowered as the mourners charging toward him at the podium kept increasing by the second.
It took the intervention of area MP Jack Wamboka to calm the situation as Barasa’s security whisked him to safety..<<CONTINUE READING>>
