The enraged journalists were covering the launch of his Maendeleo Chap Chap party at the Bomas of Kenya when it all happened.

Governor Mutua is set to launch the party on whose ticket he is to defend the seat in 2017.

Earlier in the rehearsal hall, the Governor was quoted saying “nyonga hao, watupe nje" to mean "strangle, throw them out."

Mutua later apologised to the media corps, saying he was chasing away certain people who were not supposed to be there and that he used "nyonga" to mean "grab their shirts.."
