National Assembly Majority Leader and Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah was on Saturday, April 5, 2025, jeered and heckled again as President William Ruto watched helplessly.
Ichung’wah struggled to address the residents of Lari in Kiambu County as Ruto finalised his tour of the Mt. Kenya region.
In a video that was being streamed live on President William Ruto’s social media pages, Ichung’wah was heard trying to tell off the crowd by telling the head of state not to be intimidate by the noises, but the residents could not hear none of it.
The lawmaker was forced to hurriedly finish his one sentence speech in which he thanked the president for the development projects in Kiambu, and handed over the microphone.
“Rais nataka nikuambie ile kazi umetuambia ya Kiambu, out of the housing fund, ile pesa tumeeka Kiambu is a total of Ksh46 billion yenye inafanya kazi hapa Kiambu. Na tunakushukuru na tunakuambia uendelee na hiyo kazi. Kazi ya kelele isikuweke uoga hata kidogo kwa sababu ile kazi ambayo tulikupea ni ile ya maendeleo. Asante na Mungu akubariki,” Ichung’wah said.
Ichung’wah heckled in Nyandarua
This comes just two days after he was again heckled in Nyandarua, in front of President Ruto.
Despite the noise, Ichung’wah tried to weather the storm through a greeting, which was only met with louder jeers.
“Mr. President, the people of Kware know affordable housing is here, and all the work (placing cabro in affordable housing units) here should be given to the youth,” Ichung’wah added in an apparent attempt to appease the crowd, who shouted down his address in protest.
