When power meets opposition you can expect the biggest war in town. A month after losing seat to her vice chairman Mustafa, former Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) Mombasa chapter chairperson Rukia Rashid snubbed a handing over ceremony to welcome her successor Mohamed Ramadhan Mustafa in the most controversial manner. 

According to those present, Rukia arrived late for the ceremony forcing the newly elected team to wait patiently for her.

When journalists were ushered in to cover the function, Rukia received a call on her cell phone and walked out of the venue leaving her handbag behind.

As journalists were setting up their cameras ready for the ceremony Rukia came back, hurriedly picked her handbag and walked away.

The entire ceremony was brought to a halt as those in the room watched in disbelief as she majestically walked out. Mustafa, his vice chairperson Jacqueline Waihenya who is an advocate of the high court and chamber directors were left speechless.

Mustafa was at the receiving end as journalists demanded to know why they were invited to a handing over ceremony which was not happening.

He down played the fiasco saying there was a change of plan and that is why Rukia just slipped out of the ceremony.
