President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday had to interrupt his Madaraka Day speech to order his security guards not to rough up a youthful man who had attempted to catch his attention.
The youthful man had scaled a security barrier at the Jomo Kenyatta International Stadium in Kisumu, and was running towards the podium where the President was making his address a few minutes to 2pm.
However, before he could get far, security officers cornered and whisked him away.
The man was protesting being stopped.
As the security guards attempted to rein him in – roughly – Kenyatta intervened, asking the officers to let the man go.
The security men had lifted the man up, and were carrying him towards the exit.
“Achana naye aende (Let him walk out, [don’t rough him up],” ordered Kenyatta, who was in the middle of his formal speech.
