Uhuru Kenyatta In Panic Mood As Kisii Community Leads An Open Revolt Against His Presidency

Angry mourners blocked attempts to read Kenyatta’s condolence message as the mass funeral service turned into a political duel between CORD and Jubilee.

The President was expected, along with Raila, to attend the service for 15 victims of a school bus tragedy in Kisii but called off the trip at the last minute.

 It was left to Cabinet Secretary for ICT, Dr Fred Matiang’i, to deliver the President’s message to a hostile crowd at Gusii Stadium, which had earlier humiliated another Jubilee leader, former Cabinet minister Sam Ongeri.


Speaking in Gusii amid chaotic scenes, Matiang’i repeatedly pleaded for a chance to deliver the President’s message. But the crowd became even more charged and shouted him down. After failing to read even a word, he handed the speech to Governor James Ongwae before taking his seat.

Ongeri walked out of the stadium after he was interrupted.
