Deputy President Kithure Kindiki had a torrid time during an empowerment event in Othaya, Nyeri County, as a section of youth threatened to storm the event, chanting 'wantam' slogans from outside the perimeter fence.
Kindiki, who was in Othaya to commission the construction of the Othaya Modern Community Stadium, almost saw his venture derailed by hundreds of youth who were camped outside the venue.
Videos obtained by Kenyans.co.ke painted a harrowing picture, as the youth openly heckled the Second in Command using the popular chant 'Wantam', which is being popularised by former DP Rigathi Gachagua in the Mount Kenya region.
While security personnel were present at the event, additional police officers were eventually deployed at the scene to maintain order as the event proceeded inside the stadium.
