AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> The Elite Police Squad was forced to take charge of a funeral service in Kisii as MPs allied to Deputy President William Ruto and Raila Odinga clashed.<\/p>\n

Ruto and Raila’s bodyguard surrounded the two leaders as a section of leaders engaged in fist fights.<\/p>\n

Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati’s remarks forced his South Mugirango counterpart Slyvanus Osoro to jump onto the podium when he called on Ruto to keep off the company of leaders he referred as corrupt and whom he said have been defrauding other Kenyans.<\/p>\n

“We have several leaders here in the company of our Deputy President who have a tainted life. These are fraudsters who should not be allowed to take up any leadership position,” said Arati.<\/p>\n

Osoro who spoke before Arati said the BBI Bill had not catered for the demands put forward by the Gusii Community. “We cannot support a document that seeks to benefit a few selfish leaders in the Country.”<\/p>\n

Deputy Governor Joash Maangi was forced to take over the function calling for calm. He invited his boss Governor James Ongwae who took over as the master of ceremony.<\/p>\n

Ongwae said Abagusii are known to be peaceful people. “Such incidents should not be allowed.”<\/p>\n

Both Ruto and Raila later addressed the mourners and called for respect among Kenyan leaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
