The Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) in the Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender Rachel Shebesh was forced to end her official visit to Kericho County abruptly following a public spat.

Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, a correspondent in Kericho revealed that Shebesh appeared to have angered her hosts when she used her time on the podium to talk politics.

According to the eyewitness report, Kericho Women Representative Florence Bore was visibly angered as they stepped into a backroom following Shebesh's address.

"Moments later she was whisked away to a backroom where they seemed to disagree as the next time I saw her, she was sandwiched by her security team who took her away," the correspondent detailed.

Shebesh reportedly travelled back to Nairobi. The CAS was scheduled to visit all 6 sub-counties but ended the tour after the first event.

According to Bore, her colleague wanted to take advantage of the gathering so as to gear up her political mileage rather than focusing on affirmative funds allocated to women. 

During her address, Shebesh stated that the president's family needed to be respected, adding that President Uhuru Kenyatta was not happy with the sentiments by Emmurua Dikirr MP Johana Ngeno and Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi.

Ng'eno and Sudi have sparked countrywide protests following their recent remarks on Mama Ngina. 

The Kapseret legislator has since come out and said that he would not apologise over his controversial remarks on President Uhuru and his family.

He further stated that those condemning him were brokers and looters who had destroyed the country.

Meanwhile, women leaders took to the streets of Nairobi on September 9, to protest against the remarks.
