November 29, 2019, marked a significant day in the life of Maina Kamanda, a Jubilee Party member of parliament, as he found himself at the receiving end of public discontent in Kirinyaga.
As Kamanda attempted to address a crowd during a function at Gathuthuini Hope, a gathering organized by the National Security Ministry's Karanja Kibicho, he was met with a barrage of criticism and heckling from the audience.
The incident occurred in the presence of Fred Matiang'i, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government, who was a guest of honor at the event.
It is worth noting that Kamanda has been a vocal critic of Deputy President William Ruto's administration, and his recent actions have been seen as a move to distance himself from the Jubilee Party.
However, it appears that Kamanda's efforts to shift his allegiance to the opposition have not gone unnoticed, and he has faced backlash from the public in Kirinyaga.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how Kamanda's actions will be received by his constituents and the wider public.
