Bungoma residents on Tuesday took to the streets to protest against the alleged plot to impeach National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula.

While demonstrating, the residents marched through the streets of Bugoma Town while hoisting huge placards and twigs accusing the opposition Members of Parliament of allegedly orchestrating Wetangula's impeachment plot.

The demonstrators, mostly comprised of boda boda riders, also faulted President William Ruto for failing to protect Wetangula from the looming axe despite receiving overwhelming support from the region in 2022.

During the peaceful demonstrations, the locals recalled President Ruto's promise which he made in 2022 when he visited the county where he pledged to help Wetangula acquire his current National Assembly role.
