Budalang'i MP Ababu Namwamba was confronted by angry youths in Mombasa who accused him of betraying ODM leader Raila Odinga.
The youths, some were donning ODM shirts, demanded
that Ababu addresses them, some blocking his exit path.
The MP had just come out of a church service at Glory
Worship Center at Bangla, Jomvu constituency.
The youths, about 30 in number who appeared drunk, shouted that the legislator .
The legislator resigned from the ODM secretary general post in June and later the Labour Party of Kenya.
It took the intervention of Labour Party of Kenya organising secretary Peter Ole Musei to cool them
off.
But Namwamba later told the Star that the youths, who he
described as 'good boys', were airing their 'genuine grievances'.
"Would they have allowed me to address
them if they had ill-intentions? These are people who saw a perfect avenue to
have their serious grievance sorted," he said.
He said if the youths were rowdy as purported, his car windows
would have been smashed.
The former ODM secretary general said such incident is
normal in the political scenes.
LPK secretary general David Makali said the incident should
not be confused to mean a hostile reception.
