Reports indicate that others in the Memorial event demanded Namwamba to explain the whereabouts of Fred Omondi’s brother, Eric who was arrested earlier in the day for protesting outside Parliament against the Finance Bill 2024.
Despite the intervention of the event host to calm the crowd down, the chants persisted making it hard for Namwamba and his team to give their tribute to Fred Omondi.
However, the CS was able to speak a few words amidst the booing and chants and gave contributions of Ksh. 300,000. He appreciated the turn up for the event before he took his seat.
However, things took a huge turn when he finished speaking as people kept shouting and cursing him where he was sitted. The building became so hostile forcing the CS to be whisked away by his security team.
Within an hour later, Eric Omondi, who was being held at Central Police Station was released to join other mourners at his brother’s memorial service at Carnivore.
