There was drama in Meru County on Sunday, May 11, as former Governor Kawira Mwangaza was embroiled in a heated confrontation with police officers.

Mwangaza was left thoroughly frustrated after authorities attempted to block her and her supporters from conducting a church meeting, leading to an intense standoff.

Engagements between Mwangaza and authorities started on a calm note, with the former governor seen talking with one of the officers, asking why one of her entourage's cars was being blocked.

Mwangaza was adamant that she was a bishop and was simply holding a church meeting on a Sunday, but police were having none of it as they insisted no public gathering would take place without adequate security.
