Another BBI Meeting Ends in Teargas

Residents and leaders scampered for safety after police disrupted another Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) meeting in NarokĀ  County.

Trouble started when Emurua-Dikiir MP Johanna Ng’eno defied police orders to discontinue a meeting they had organized at a local market in the area.

The defiant MP would challenge the police officer to provide the crowd with security instead of dispersing it when all hell broke loose.

At the time of going to press, no major injuries were reported from the standoff.

In a video shared by former State House digital strategist Dennis Itumbi, Ng’eno was meeting non-Maa speaking communities in Narok County to get their views on BBI.

Narok County has six Sub-counties: Kilgoris, Narok North, Narok South, Narok East, Narok West and Emurua-Dikiir.

Only two days ago, MP Ng’eno was arrested for allegedly holding a parallel BBI meeting without the blessings of the secretariat.

The firebrand legislator was nabbed at a meet-the-people tour in Kimogor market just days after he walked out of a BBI consultative forum in protest.
