Tuesday, November 12, 2024 - Nyeri Town Member of Parliament Duncan Mathenge was heckled and chased away while trying to address his constituents on Monday, November 11.
Mathenge had visited Nyeri Town Downstage to sympathize with matatu operators being relocated to a different terminus, a move that could negatively impact the transport sector in Nyeri CBD.
Matatus are set
to move to the new bus terminus at Asian Quarters from Monday, with
Mathenge making his way to the 'ground' to show his support to operators.
However, the
lawmaker was met with hostility from residents who completely quelled his
attempts to address them.
Irate
residents, who also included matatu operators, resorted to chants against
Mathenge, with some labeling him a traitor for backing the impeachment motion
against Rigathi Gachagua.
He was left speechless as residents heckled him, prompting him to cut short his speech.
Mathenge was among the 244 Members of Parliament who voted in favor of the motion to oust Gachagua as Kenya's Deputy President.
The move was risky for Mathenge as he hails from Nyeri County, Gachagua's political stronghold.
