Even after the scuffle between nominated MP Maina Kamanda and Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro on Sunday was quelled, supporters of the two did not let it settle.
The two leaders engaged in a confrontational argument in Gitui Catholic Church, leading to disruption of a fundraiser that had been organised for months.
After the two left the scene, their supporters addressed a press conference in Murang'a town where they clashed, hurling insults against each other, reports indicate.
The supporters of Kamanda led by MCAs Isaac Kamote (Wangu) and Charles Mwangi (Ichagaki) gave their account on how the fundraiser was conducted, blaming the chaos on Kiharu MP.
The MCAs who were speaking during a press conference in Murang’a town, detailed how Kamanda introduced Nyoro and welcomed him in the podium to give his remarks.
“The worse came when Nyoro said he will not allow people from Nairobi led by Kamanda to take control of his Kiharu constituency,” said Kamote who had hosted the MPs in his Wangu ward.
Ichagaki MCA said that whatever happened at Gitui is similar to an incident at Kariti ACK church where supporters of Tanga Tanga camp disrupted a Kieleweke function to celebrate the appointment of Joshua Toro as National Irrigation Board (NIB) as the chairman.
Nyoro’s supporters Joseph Ndung’u and Kamau Mwangi were also given a chance to set the record straight on what the rival team had said.
Mwangi despite the heckling stood his ground and defended Kiharu MP, saying he had every right to be in the function.
“With all due respect Kamanda should respect Ndindi Nyoro as a youthful politician,” said Mwangi.
The two leaders blamed each other following the scuffle. On Sunday, Nyoro had to sneak out of Royal Media Service's building after learning that he was under police surveillance.
