Water Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa was on Tuesday forced to live the venue of the Maragoli cultural festival at Municipal Grounds in Mbale after an irate public chanted saying he was not welcome.
As things turned ugly for the CS, Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi was having it good as MPs from Kakamega started campaigning for his 2022 presidential bid, barely two months after the presidential elections.

Mr Wamalwa left barely five minutes after he had arrived at the well-attended annual event that was being marked for the 38th time.
Mr Mudavadi was at the time addressing the hundreds of attendees at the event where Cotu Secretary General Francis Atwoli was chief guest.
Efforts by Mr Mudavadi and Mr Atwoli to calm down the mobs were futile as the chanting grew louder.
“Aende (let him go),” the crowd shouted as some pelted him with stones. Mr Mudavadi and Mr Atwoli were forced to escort the minister out of the venue as police shot leading to a stampede. Things settled after the CS left.
According to NASA co-principal Musalia Mudavadi,Mr Wamalwa had not been invited to the event.
“It is unfortunate Eugene came to an occasion uninvited with sole purpose of disrupting it,” said Mr Mudavadi.

The ANC leader and Mr Atwoli condemned the police for shooting in the air. “Why shoot at a crowd that has created a pathway for your exit. This is display of impunity in Jubilee leadership,” said Mr Mudavadi.
