On Tuesday, December 10, Kandara MP Alice Wahome issued a stern warning to her Nyeri Town counterpart, Njunjiri Wambugu, against disrupting public gatherings in her constituency.
While visiting landslide victims in Gathugu village in Kandara, the MP expressed her disappointment at Wambugu's alleged orchestration of chaos during public events, describing it as dishonourable for a Member of Parliament.
‘How many times will he attend an event where he is actually not the organiser and ensure that there is disruption, conflict and violence?’ she posed.
Wahome also stated that she would have dealt with Wambugu had the alleged orchestration of chaos been in Kandara.
Her sentiments follow an incident on Sunday, December 8, where Wambugu, through his social media pages, alleged that Deputy President William Ruto had paid goons to burn the president’s T-shirts.
Wambugu's allegations sparked chaos at a church service in Nyeri County, forcing police officers to shoot in the air to disperse a rowdy crowd engaged in fistfights.
According to a report by Citizen TV, the rowdy youths, claimed to have been backed by Wambugu, were armed with crude weapons including knives and clubs.
