Chaos were witnessed on Thursday in Kilifi county after residents protested against Governor Amason Kingi over alleged loss of Sh51 million in front of visiting ODM leader Raila Odinga.
The residents blamed Raila Odinga for defending Kingi despite the fact that he had misappropriated county funds.
One of the placards carried by the protestors had a direct message to Odinga. It was labeled "Raila acha Kutetea Waizi" (Raila stop defending thieves) with others calling for Kingi's oust.
Te situation was however contained after riot police came in to restore peace in the area.
Kingi was among a list of governors who were pointed out by the auditor general's report to have misappropriated county funds.
On Wednesday ODM leader Raila Odinga gave a statement defending governors affiliated to Cord exonerating them from the corruption report.
Odinga's sentiments were however not well received by Kenyans with many terming him a leader with double standards.
