Ndenderu Member of County Assembly David Mwaura, on Monday, sustained injuries after a group of youth beat him up at a public event.
The leaders from Kiambu County had convened to launch the construction of Kiambaa Technical Institute when the mayhem occurred.
Mwaura was attacked for supporting the one man one vote one shilling revenue sharing formulae propelled by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
The event was attended by leaders and the public, most of whom were perceived to oppose the formulae. In general, 11 members of Parliament from the county including Kikuyu's Kimani Ichung'wah were in attendance.
A clip obtained by Kenyans.co.ke showed tens of attendees clobbering the politician who was later rushed to hospital after sustaining injuries.
He told the press that he was beaten up in the head, ribs, and legs and was stumped while on the ground.
"I was hit in the ribs and the head. I was pushed to the ground, beaten on the legs, and stumped on while lying on the ground," he stated.
For weeks now, Gachagua has been attracting ire from other leaders for pushing for the one man one vote one shilling revenue sharing formulae arguing that it is the only fair formulae of sharing state resources.
He argued that Mt Kenya ranks among the most popular regions and contributes more votes than many other areas and therefore deserves a bigger allocation.
Other leaders including those from the Mt Kenya region, however, are opposed to the formulae arguing that it is a divisive argument that will destroy national unity.
Ichung'wah asked the DP to pursue uniting the country as mandated by his office.
“If we truly believe that we hold offices that bestow on you the role of being a symbol of national unity, seek to unite the people of Kenya not the people of Mt Kenya,” he stated.
"If you think the talks of unity aren't good, don't talk in Rift Valley or Western. Come here and call for a gathering and tell the people why unity isn't good."
“We are being told that everyone in Mt Kenya, including elected leaders, should follow one person to be taken where he wants. If you want to unite Mt. Kenya, you should do so within the Kenya Kwanza government,” Ichung'wah added.
Other leaders opposed to the formulae are Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru and Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki.
