When ODM party leader Raila Odinga arrived at Mama Ngina water front, the venue of the event, Kuria happened not to have stood up.

It is at this point that Nairobi Makongeni ward MCA Peter Imwatok  accosted him and took away his BBI hat.

In video footage making rounds on social media, a group of people were recorded heckling the MP as he tried to fire back verbally.

He, however, resisted all attempts as he ‘defended his seat’.

Mr Kuria also revealed that the MCA  is also the ODM minority whip in Nairobi County. 

He cried out to Raila, seemingly calling action against the MCA.

“Dear Raila Amolo Odinga. This is the idiot MCA Peter Imwatok of Makongeni, Nairobi who accosted me, took away my BBI hat and even my seat at the Mombasa BBI meeting. He is also the ODM minority whip in Nairobi County. My fault? Refusing to stand up when Baba entered the venue. Question: Baba is this how Kenya would be if you were to become President? ” he posted.

Tanga tanga members, the leaders allied to Deputy president Dr William Ruto are likely to miss seats at the main daises during the Mombasa BBI rally.

On Saturday noon, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Director of Communications Philip Etale through his social media handles said that the main daises were already full.

Etale said that leaders from all walks of life, elected, nominated and appointed had already arrived at the Mama Ngina Water Front, the venue of the event.

He further cautioned those who were waiting to come late for the sake of sideshows, noting that he was sorry for them.

“Leaders from all walks of life, elected, nominated and appointed have already arrived at the Mama Ngina Water Front. The main daises are full. People have volunteered to be here. Anyone waiting for sideshows by virtue of coming late, pole,” he posted.

Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen, Susan Kihika (Nakuru senator), Moses Kuria (Gatundu South MP), Alice Wahome (Kandara MP), Mohamed Ali (Nyali MP) and Aisha Jumwa (Malindi MP) are the Tanga Tanga members expected at the BBI meeting.

On Friday, Murkomen revealed that he had been threatened that if he attend the Mombasa BBI meeting, he shall be humiliated by being denied a seat,not being allowed to talk or even if he will be allowed to talk, he shall be heckled.

He however noted that he will attend the meeting despite all the intimidation that is awaiting him.

“I have been threatened that if I attend the Mombasa BBI meeting I shall be humiliated by being denied a seat,not being allowed to talk or even if I am allowed to talk I shall be heckled.If that’s what it takes to unite this country so be it&I am ready to absorb.Tukutane Mombasa,” he posted.

Earlier on Friday, a press conference by Jumwa and Ali was disrupted by youths, with the two accusing their political detractors of being behind the act.

Ali and Jumwa have insisted that Coast leaders be given the opportunity to lead the discussions. Ali said only local leaders understand the issues affecting their constituents.

He wants issues touching on ports, SGR, health and employment, among interests, given priority.
