Ruto ally walks out of Raila’s Azimio la Umoja event, accuses security detail of roughing her up

Drama ensued at the Kasarani stadium after Ruto ally and Maragwa MP Mary Wamaua accused security detail at the Azimio la Umoja convention of mishandling her.

In a video clip that has since gone viral, the lawmaker is heard accusing the plain cloth security officers of shoving her away despite being an elected leader.

“Na mkifika State House, itakuwa namna gani? Tunataka watu ambao wamenyenyekea. Mimi mjumbe amechaguliwa mnaniskuma kama viazi? Tutapatana kwenye debe (So how will the situation be when you get to State House? We want humble people. Why are you roughing me up yet I am an elected leader? Let’s meet at the ballot),” she was heard saying.

The legislator was recently welcomed by Deputy President William Ruto to his nascent UDA party. The Jubilee MP announced that she had ditched the ruling coalition in favour of Ruto’s party.
