Monday, July 1, 2024 - Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa was on Saturday forced to mobilise goons to ensure the angry Gen Zs do not disrupt his rally.
Barasa has been a target of the
Ge Zs after he voted in favour of President William Ruto’s punitive Finance
Bill which has since been rejected after the deadly protests by the young
people.
Things started getting out of
hand after the legislator started pointing out how he was pushing for his
constituents’ interests in various ways. As this was happening, a group of
disgruntled youth disrupted the rally.
Seeking to avoid a full-blown
confrontation, Barasa's supporters who had graced the event started running
away.
‘Please come back. There is
nothing to worry about. I have enough youth with me who can tackle that,” he
implored residents who were running away.
Barasa dismissed the youth who
wanted to invade his rally as criminals with nothing better to do.
After much pleading, the
audience agreed to come back as the other opposing group appeared subdued by
the youth accompanying Barasa.
When Barasa announced he would
hold a rally in Kimilili, an online campaign was started with youth
encouraged to disrupt his event.
However, Barasa remarked that
Kimilili residents had nothing to be worried about after President Ruto
rejected the Bill on Wednesday.
He claimed that despite Ruto
calling for austerity measures, Kimilili had already received funds for socioeconomic
development.
