Sounds believed to be tear gas canisters being fired can reportedly be heard in the background as the security team appears to rush the Deputy President away from the scene.
The incident has sparked widespread reactions among Kenyans, with many questioning how a rally attended by the country’s second-highest-ranking government official could reportedly descend into chaos.
Some Kenyans have expressed concern over the state of security in the country, arguing that the incident raises serious questions if goons can reportedly disrupt a rally involving the Deputy President and force his security team to evacuate him from the area.
Others have called on the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to launch investigations into the incident, identify those behind the chaos and take appropriate action against anyone found responsible.
The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, and the claims circulating online have not been independently verified.
