For at least 10 minutes on Friday, Nyamira Deputy Governor Amos Nyaribo was heckled by disgruntled residents as ODM leader Raila Odinga watched helplessly.
During Governor John Nyagarama's absence for almost three months, Nyaribo has been temporarily in charge of the county.
But throughout his short spell, the ODM chief has witnessed rebellion within county workers who accuse him of arbitrary sackings and intimidations.
And when given chance to condole Nyagarama, who had lost his eldest son, locals openly heckled him forcing him to cut short his speech.
When the noises reduced, a defiant Nyaribo lectured people who he referred to as 'cartels' and warned that the crackdown will continue.
Raila asked locals to give the county government humble time to deliver it's promises.
Among those who fell victims of Nyaribo's crackdown include sacked County Secretary Erick Onchana and Deputy Chief of Staff Kefa Mocheche.
