‘Nani Aliwafunza Kupiga Kelele!’ – Ruto Blasts Hecklers In Githunguri
President William Ruto chastised some Githunguri villagers on Saturday for heckling a leader who was addressing them.
The President was on the fifth day of his development tour in the Mount Kenya region, visiting Nyeri and Kiambu counties.
However, when he called Kiambu Woman Representative Anne Wamuratha to the event, some of the spectators began heckling her while she was speaking.
The heckling grew too much, prompting Wamurathe to speed up her remarks.
Shortly after she ended her remarks, the President chastised those who were heckling, saying it was not a good performance.
The President questioned where the residents had learned to shout at leaders while addressing them.
“Sasa nyinyi, nani aliwafunza kupigia watu makelele? Basi makelele sasa itoshe hapo,” the President said.

This isn’t the first time leaders have been heckled in front of the President.
During the Mt Kenya visit, some of the leaders were forced to confront angry audiences as villagers began shouting to prevent them from speaking.
On Tuesday, Kikuyu Member of Parliament Kimani Ichungw’ah faced a tough time while addressing a crowd of people who had turned up for Ruto’s tour in Ol Kalou, Nyandarua county.

It all started when the MP was ushered to speak immediately after ICT CS William Kabogo had addressed the crowd.
As he took his position at the top of his vehicle, the crowd turned hostile to Ichung’wah as he attempted to sell the government agenda.
Amidst the crowd’s cries, the MP was heard telling the hecklers, “No one sells me fear” in Kikuyu dialect. The outraged rallygoers, on the other hand, were unaware of it.
Despite his efforts to defuse the situation, rally attendees refused to listen to his address, making it difficult for him to proceed.
