The president of Kenya, William Ruto, was attacked by a shoe jet while he was aimed at residents on Sunday, May 4, reports the BBC. The scene took place in the county of Chigori, a region where the manager made a 3 -day tour to visit development projects.
In videos transmitted on social networks, you can see a shoe of the crowd and reach the head of state in the arm, which he held in the air while expressing himself in front of the inhabitants.
An involuntary gesture?
Dennis Itumbi, a nearby collaborator of President Kenyan, broadcast on his Facebook account a video taken from a different angle. We see a resident to fly a shoe in the air, before another person hit him with his hand, boosting the projectile towards William Ruto.
According to Dennis Itumbi, it is a simple incident that has “degenerated.” “While the crowd hastened to fly his phone to immortalize the president, a creative citizen (…) he raised his shoe to joke, claiming that it was a camera. Someone by his side, annoying because the” Caméra shoe ‘blocks his view, pushed him with one hand. Unfortunately, the stolen shoe … Facebook.
This shoe stream intervenes in a context of insecurity for Kenya’s elected officials, reports the BBC. Last week, an opposition deputy was shot in the capital, Nairobi, for armed men circulating on a motorcycle.
“Imagine if the shoe was a bullet,” worried Deputy Nelson Koech, of the Presidential Party, insisting on the need to “guarantee the security of the Head of State.”
