UDA MP forced to plead for mercy as rowdy youth corner him in Nandi – Look! Even RUTO is not safe at this rate!

 

Monday, February 28, 2022 – An ally of Deputy President William Ruto found himself in a precarious situation after rowdy youth cornered him in Nandi.

The youth demanded Emgwen and Nandi Senatorial aspirant, Alex Kosgei, to give them handouts during his rally in Nandi as they sang songs temporarily disrupting the MP’s campaign rally.

Kosgei was forced to plead with the gathering and his community to give him a chance to speak but his efforts were in vain.

He further appealed to them that he is their son and they shouldn’t chase him away from the rally. 

“Even if I don’t have money, at the end of the day I am yours and I haven’t wronged you. I am pleading with you not to insult me.” 

“I know there are people who have money and I am telling you I am home. 

“I am humbly asking you to please exercise peace and love among others. Let us not fight or quarrel because of politics. Even if I don’t get votes I will still be a son of this community,” Kosgei stated.

He reiterated that he was on a mission to listen to the county residents and encourage people to foster peace ahead of the August 9 polls. 

Notably, his supporters who were among the crowd cheered him on to counter the rowdy youth. 

Last week, another UDA MP and Ruto’s ally, Kimani Ichung’wah, was caught in a crossfire after he was heckled for trying to attack Lari MP Jonah Mburu in Kiambu County.

Ichung’wah digressed to talk about MP Mburu in an apparent attempt to disparage him for supporting Azimio La Umoja, a move that badly backfired on him.
