Protestors on Wednesday afternoon stormed the World Consumers Rights Day event being held at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Sports Complex in Kisumu demanding an audience with Cabinet secretary for ICT Mr Eliud Owalo Insead of Mr. Chiloba.
Mr Ezra Chiloba, the Director General of the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), had to be whisked away from the venue to escape the wrath of the angry protestors.
The protestors who were chanting “Tunataka Owalo (We want Owalo” arrived just when journalists were interviewing Mr Chiloba on the sidelines of the forum.
Mr Chiloba cut short the interview and entered his vehicle which left immediately.The angry protestors did not spot him from the tinted windows of the white Toyota Prado.
Some of the delegates at the event fled for their dear lives while the protesters moved to the main dais where some panel discussions were going on.
Mr Owalo, who was the chief guest at the event, was not present when they arrived.
The protesters raided the event moments after they issued a memorandum at the County Commissioner’s office.
But some of the local leaders and fellow protestors alerted them that the CS was holding an event in Kisumu, on a day that they were protesting.
They carted away teardrop banners, which had been erected by various corporations exhibiting their products at the event.
