Tough talking president Uhuru Kenyatta has heavily criticized his deputy’s allies for making unnecessary noise.
Mr Kenyatta again scolded members of the Tanga Tanga group that is linked to his Deputy President William Ruto.
It was Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro who found himself in the unenviable position of being given a public dressing-down by President Kenyatta for “criss-crossing the country making noise.”
Immediately Mr Nyoro rose up to speak at the funeral ceremony of Thayu Kamau at Kiharu Constituency on Thursday, Mr Kenyatta excused himself and went out of the tent only to come back when the MP had finished making his remarks.
This was not the first time the Head of State has excused himself while Mr Nyoro is holding the microphone.
Last year, during the funeral ceremony of second liberation hero Kenneth Matiba, Mr Kenyatta also walked out when the MP was speaking.
While it is not clear whether the incident is a coincidence or pre-planned, on Thursday the President tongue-lashed the MP after he requested the Head of State to donate at least Sh5 million to Gitui Secondary School for development.
“I hear some people asking for money. Account for the monies that have been allocated in your National Government Constituency Development Funds which are worth Sh100 million instead of loitering the country with endless meetings and unending speeches,” Mr Kenyatta, who was visibly irritated, told the MP amid cheers from mourners.
Mr Nyoro is perceived to be Dr Ruto’s man in Murang’a County and Mt Kenya region.
The President assured Kenyans that the ongoing war against corruption in the government will continue and that not even microphones will save those implicated.
But the President’s dressing down of Mr Nyoro has been the talk of town with some speculating that Mr Kenyatta is angry at the MP for defying his directive to halt 2022 politics.
