Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria was on Friday forced to cut short his speech in Nyeri after some mourners started to chant anti-government slogans.
Kuria was at the funeral of politician Maina Wanjigi, Kamukunji's five-term Member of Parliament and a long-serving Cabinet Minister.
The ceremony was being held in Kianjoya, Nyeri county.
The CS had barely spoken for two minutes when he was rudely interrupted with the chants.
“Asante sana, thank you very much,” Kuria said and went to sit down following the chants.
The CS was interrupted as he was telling mourners that Wanjigi's place in Kenya’s history cannot be erased.
“I have come here because the history of the nation cannot be erased. In the history of this country, the place of Maina Wanjigi is cast in stone,” he said just before the chants started.
MPs, mostly from the ruling Kenya Kwanza coalition who voted for the controversial Finance Bill, 2024 have been facing attacks from angry protesters.
Kibwezi MP Mwengi Mutuse is among lawmakers who have been confronted and chased away from a public event by angry constituents.
The lawmaker had attended a funeral in his constituency when drama unfolded as irate residents turned their wrath on him.
A number of lawmakers who supported the Bill have since taken a hasty retreat and apologised to Kenyans for not listening to them.
Despite the apology, the public has not relented on their anger at the MPs who ignored the popular call to reject the Bill.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has come to the defence of the MPs who voted 'Yes' for the Bill.
According to Gachagua, the MPs were only doing their job and they should not be punished or harassed by the people.
The DP insisted that governments are formed by parties, which elected leaders must always support in any programme brought to Parliament.
