Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja was in an uncomfortable situation after his speech was cut short by a woman in distress.
Sakaja attended a church service alongside President Ruto and other leaders at Soweto Catholic Church in Nairobi.
As he was talking about the link between the capital city of Nairobi and the national government, Sakaja had his speech cut short by a wailing woman in the distance.
The governor tried to control the situation by calling forth the woman in question, while promising to address her concerns.
“It is okay. We will address her concerns. When guests come, residents are relieved. The woman will also get healed. Mummy relax I will take your written plea and help her. Your Excellency, a lot is going on in Kenya,” Governor Sakaja
The whole incident played out in the presence of Ruto who was yet to make his speech.
This is not the first time the governor has openly had to address a deal with a distressed Nairobi resident.
In August, Sakaja had to be evacuated from Toi market after residents attempted to pelt his convoy with stones.
At the time, Sakaja was visiting the market in the wake of a fire inferno which was believed to have been caused by an electric fault.
