Chaos erupted in Ol-Kalou town in Nyandarua as public participation on the impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua kicked off across the country.
Nyandarua residents thronged Ol-Kalou NG-CDF offices next to the regional County Commissioner’s office where the exercise was being held.
Shortly after, chaos erupted after residents protested the exercise which they termed as skewed.
They alleged that some leaders had interfered with the exercise, a move that angered the residents.
Police were called in to bring normalcy but members of the public stormed out of the hall chanting 'no Rigathi, no Ruto'.
A national assembly representative found herself on the receiving end as she was accused of allegedly acting and receiving directions from other MPs.
Anti-riot police officers were deployed to the scene to contain the situation even as the residents continued with the protests.
Residents agreed to take part in the exercise and called on the National Assembly to ensure their views were put into consideration.
On Friday, members of the public were given the opportunity to submit their views regarding the motion to remove the Deputy President from office.
In the impeachment motion, Gachagua faces accusations of dividing Kenyans along ethnic lines, undermining the presidency, violating his oath of office, and contradicting the National Cohesion and Integration Act.
Additional grounds for impeachment include allegedly amassing Sh5.2bn in property illegally, inciting the public against directives from the Nairobi County government, gross misconduct, and bullying.
The National Assembly will on Tuesday vote on the impeachment motion.
