Mbeere North MP Geoffrey Ruku faced a hostile reception in Embu Town on September 21, 2024, when he attempted to disrupt a public gathering hosted by activist Morara Kebaso.
The event, intended for civic education, saw Ruku heckled by residents who were displeased with his presence.
The crowd’s anger stemmed from Ruku’s involvement in sponsoring the controversial Maandamano Bill, which has been a source of discontent among the public.
As Ruku tried to address the gathering, the residents’ boos and jeers intensified, ultimately forcing him to leave the event without making his point.
Videos circulating on social media captured the tense moment, with the crowd showing overwhelming support for Morara Kebaso, who criticized Ruku’s actions during his speech.
Kebaso reminded the crowd of Ruku’s unfulfilled promises in Mbeere North, further fueling the crowd’s frustration.
Kebaso continued his address, using the opportunity to highlight issues like corruption and lack of accountability in governance.
Meanwhile, Ruku and his team were left to retreat from the hostile environment, demonstrating the growing discontent against his political actions in the region.
