Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri has spoken just a few hours after he was chased out of a meeting in Gatitu, Nyeri on Saturday after rowdy youth stormed the venue.

The CS who had gone to the region to launch a water project in Nyeri was cut shot after when the goons stormed the venue and caused chaos.

In his thread of tweets, the CS noted that he accompanied Nyeri county Mp Hon Mukami Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu and NIBKenya CEO Mr. Mugambi, in the launch Riamukurwe Irrigation Scheme in Nyeri County.

Kiunjuri, however, did not mention anything to do with the chaos that erupted during the event and went on explaining how beneficial the scheme will be to the Nyeri people.

“Once complete, the project will benefit more than 2000 households.Riamukurwe Irrigation Scheme, will enable farmers to grow quick maturing crops which will increase incomes improving livelihoods,” read his part of his tweets.

Wambugu who has since condemned the move has been accused of causing the chaos that erupted in his back yard on grounds that the Agriculture minister did not consult him before coming to his turf to launch the water project.

The CS was reportedly on the podium when Wambugu arrived with rowdy boda-boda riders who forced the speaker to pause and Kiunjuri to change the line-up of speakers altogether.

This is happening at at time that the clash was between the Tangatanga (allied to Deputy President William Ruto) and Kieleweke (reportedly supporting President Uhuru Kenyatta) pacts which have been at loggerheads.
