On June 20, 2020, a meeting of Western Kenya MPs at the home of Malulu Injendi was abruptly disrupted by police officers.
The MPs, including Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa and Bonny Khalwale, had convened to meet with Deputy President William Ruto, but their party was cut short by the police.
According to eyewitnesses, a confrontation ensued when the Kimilili MP told off the police officers, maintaining that they were observing social distancing.
"We are sitting 1.5 metres apart. You cannot disrupt this meeting where everybody is observing the rules. The homestead is big and there are more than 15 people in the compound, you can't expect others to vacate," the agitated MP is heard firing back.
