Tension ensued at the Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi on Friday during a public participation exercise on the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
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.
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.
