Kandara MP Alice Wahome supporters clash with Murang'a governor supporters. Murang'a governor Mwangi wa Iria wanted to stop deputy president William Ruto meeting but it backfired.



When the governor bodyguards started misbehaving they were kicked out of the function with their supporters by the Deputy President security detail.

Governor Mwangi wa Iria supporters hospitalized.

" Hon. Alice Wahome and Governor Mwangi wa Iria supporters clash and then you start blaming Ruto. People are working hard to stop Ruto. Ruto is unstoppable, " Mui Mwangi said.


 " I was there and I was in mists of the chaos. It was Wahome supporters VS Wa Iria supporters, " he added.


Chaos broke up a meeting at Kinyoho Secondary School in Murang’a where Deputy President William Ruto had gone to deliver a school bus Friday.


It started all started when Murang’a Governor Mwangi Wa Iria stormed the meeting with his supporters after getting reports that Tanga Tanga-allied leaders who had accompanied the DP in an earlier function in Kandara had castigated him for his Avocado Processing and Marketing Bill 2020, which they claimed was draconian and aimed at oppressing farmers.


“Since Mr Iria started attending the fake BBI meetings, he has been behaving funnily,” Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has said. “He must withdraw the bill.” The remarks were echoed by Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua and Kandara MP Alice Wahome. From the chaos, 10 got injured and were taken to Murang'a level five hospital.
