Fury as Governor Mutua orders security to ‘nyonga’ and kick out journalists
Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua incensed journalists covering the launch of his Maendeleo Chap chap party when he ordered his security detail to throw them out of a rehearsal hall.
The incident happened on Thursday at the Bomas of Kenya where he is due to launch the party on whose ticket he is to defend the seat in 2017.
APOLOGY
The governor would later come out to apologise to the media corps, saying he was chasing away “certain people who are not supposed to be here”.
Earlier in the rehearsal hall, the Governor had told his security “nyonga hao, watupe nje (strangle, throw them out).”
But in the apology, he said “nyonga” was used to mean “grab their shirts…”
