Hell broke loose when a speaker addressing the delegates mentioned the Handshake.

A section of the delegates shouted her down and started chanting Deputy President William Ruto’s name.

The chants continued bringing the meeting to a near end.

Despite the speaker not having mentioned ODM leader Raila Odinga, only mentioning the Handshake, one delegate is heard questioning why the speaker was ‘talking about Raila’.

“Aroka gutuhe cia Raila ciake (Why is she coming here to tell us about Raila),” the delegate says.

The handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Mr Raila Odinga which happened on March 9 last year has become a bond of contention within political circles.

Those leaning towards Ruto’s camp have expressed concerns saying it is a scheme to destroy Jubilee and interfere with its 2022 succession politics.

But politicians coalescing around Raila hail the handshake as having brought the country a peaceful political climate.

The Maendeleo ya Wanawake meeting was happening amid a split in the organization.

One faction had moved to court to stop the annual meeting from happening.
