The roads were bad, and I remember our vehicle stuck in mud since it was raining. We called residents to come and push and pull us out and they came," Raila narrated before a section of the crowd on his right, started shouting 'snake, snake!'.He cut short his speech to allow them to calm."Snake? Where is it from? This people are 'cowards'. That snake is very small and harmless. It is no poisonous," said the ODM party leader, as he restored calm.The crowd finally settled after realising it was a grass snake, as Raila had indicated.He further continued with his address, saying he ensured good infrastructure in the region, after his first visit.Raila was hosted by Bomet governor Isaac Ruto, who is as well the Nasa co-principal.
