Y'all people talking about stoning the Presidential motorcade - right.
Let me let you in on what happened afterwards.
Mid-afternoon: Nyanza time - as you can hear from the speech tension is rising and the only people who gather that things might get out hand have already started walking out of the main crowd.
From time to time Kenyatta is fuming due to some the large number of youth departing from the scene and James Gichuru calls upon Gen' Waruingi who is seated a few sits from on the presidential dias. You can JG leaning on to GW and whispering something into his ear. This goes on for about 3 minutes.
About 15 minutes later - a convoy of 4 limos leave followed by Gen waruingi and everything falls back to the Nyanza Gen' Hospital Opening proceedings.
JK - After the speech, which is not as such uplouded, goes on to cutting the Ribbon and officially opens NGH. He takes the usual tour inside the building and within a short time; you can hear people chanting outside and throwing insults to KANU.
It's not until about 30 minutes have passed and JK walks out and goes to where Jaramogi and the Nyanza PC are and he asks aloud, " Nyamazisha hawa wazimu wako" .
His bodyguards who have their hard wares withdrawn - at which the first egg missile is launched and hits JK by the shoulder surround JK.
Guns are fired and hell breaks loose... All that is heard from JK for the day is.Â" Inyue ihee ichi tukumurwithia gutanatukaÂ" (You Uncircumcised boys, we shall circumcise you all before night fall)
At this point he is whisked into his Limo and the cars rave out at high speed.
But not before all the most of cars in the motorcade have been dented with stones.
You could see a broken windshield, headlights, and side mirrors on JK limo.
BIG MISTAKE - instead of JARAMOGI telling his boys to disperse A.S.A.P, he encourages them to dance the Luo victory rythms, but he himself disappears.
Now it dawns why Gen Waruingi left the ceremony!
The Nakuru based 7th Batallion later to be called the FFU have already been deployed and are on the way high speed to Nyanza, they meet at cross road with JK's motorcade and he comes out and gives stanning order. " Ndukarore kana ni ya njamba kana mwera" (DONÂ'T GIVE A SHYTE WHERE ITS A HEN OR A COCKREL) that meant whoever they came upon, whether a kikuyu, a luo, a woman, a child, a goat, a dog, living or non-leaving.
And as you all know Kisumu has never been the same since. Even to this day you still have kids that are born with defects of what came to be as a result of messing up with JK.
(Well as for JARAMOGI – he had to hepa for a while and wait for things to cool )
How do I know all this? My uncle was a member of the PPU at that time
