POLITICS: ODM MP Heckled In Front Of Ruto In A Nairobi Rally
Mathare Member of Parliament Anthony Olouch was heckled on Tuesday in front of a number of prominent authorities, including President William Ruto.
During a visit to Mathare, the MP encountered a furious crowd from his constituency chanting “Olouch Must Go!”
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki had given the MP the opportunity to speak, but as soon as he was handed the microphone, the audience became hostile and jeered him.
Olouch continued his speech, unaware of what was going on around him, as Ruto, Kindiki, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, Nairobi Women Representative Esther Passaris, and nominated Senator Karen Nyamu watched.
Sakaja is seen attempting to calm the agitated crowd but to no avail.

The gathering became more furious as the chanting became louder, and Oluoch ended his brief address and handed over the microphone to another leader.
Olouch is not new to controversy. In July 2023, Oluoch was arrested and accused of subversive acts.
He had organized the public to take part in anti-government demonstrations. He was represented by a team of 20 lawyers and then released on bail.
The MP’s heckling joins a growing list of lawmakers heckled in front of Ruto, as many Kenyans use the President’s rallies to express their dissatisfaction with their leaders.
