A public address by Water and Sanitation Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome in Kiharu ended abruptly after a hostile crowd reaction, in an incident that unfolded in the presence of President William Ruto.
The dramatic moment, captured in a widely circulated video, occurred during the President’s development tour of Kiharu constituency. Notably absent from the event was the area Member of Parliament, Ndindi Nyoro, whose name quickly became the focal point of Wahome’s remarks.
While addressing residents, Wahome urged Nyoro to “return to the government side” and contribute constructively to national development. She criticized what she described as external attacks on the administration, arguing that meaningful economic reforms could only be achieved from within government structures.
