Suna East MP Junet Mohamed on Monday afternoon recorded a statement at the Migori County police headquarters over the chaos that marred President Uhuru Kenyatta’s rally last week.

Rowdy youths heckled and threw chairs and shoes towards the dais during the function in Migori that was addressed by President Kenyatta last Monday.

The meeting was concluded in a hurry following the chaos.

Police claimed that the heckling youths had been hired by a local politician, and all those involved would be arrested once investigations had been conducted.

“I’m directing my officers to investigate and institute appropriate legal action against all people who might have been involved in this incident, either directly or indirectly," Inspector-General of Police David Kimaiyo said on Wednesday.
