Police suspect that youths who heckled speakers during President Kenyatta’s rally in Migori could have been hired by a local politician. They are tracking Sh60,000 in M-Pesa transactions between the MP and 10 people arrested in connection with the embarrassing heckling and throwing of shoes at the presidential function on Monday. Kenyans have roundly condemned the chaos. Officers said a senior politician is also likely to be arrested in connection with the fracas during which the President’s function was cut short. On Tuesday, Members of Parliament from Migori apologised to the President for the embarrassment he faced during the function and attributed the chaos to local county politics pitting area Governor Okoth Obado against some leaders. Nyanza Regional Commissioner Francis Mutie said the five in police custody had provided vital information, including the names of some of the leaders who allegedly funded them.
