Two Members of Parliament have apologised to President Uhuru Kenyatta after they walked out of an event he headlined.
Bomet Woman Representative Joyce Korir and Senator Christopher Lang'at walked out on Uhuru three weeks ago during the opening of a tuition block at Bomet University College.
They accused him of snubbing them, citing they were denied a chance to speak, air grievances and discuss development priorities in their five constituencies.
“We have cleared the air over the protocol row with the President and made him understand that it was not out of disrespect for him.
“The protocol officers at State House are to blame for the hitch during the opening of a tuition block at Bomet University College, where we were not accorded the chance to speak about the myriad problems affecting the South Rift Valley region’s residents,” Korir remarked.
The senator indicated they had made two attempts to book an appointment with the President at State House to clarify the issues but were locked out.
“Our protest was blown out of proportion but I have talked to the President and cleared the issue with him,” Lang'at mentioned.
They were speaking during the opening of four classrooms at Sotik Primary School on Saturday by Governor Joyce Laboso and Kesses MP Swarup Mishra.
“Madam Governor, we support you and respect you...our anger was not directed at you but such misunderstandings are normal in any family,” Korir stated.
They also pledged that leaders from the region are united behind Uhuru and DP William Ruto.
