Kisauni MP Ali Mbogo was forced to cut short his speech after saying President Uhuru Kenyatta was concerned with the SGR cargo handling stalemate with the activists demanding that he leaves the venue.

Ugly scenes played out during a press conference called by a caucus of civil society activists and transporters to demand the actualisation of an order to stop forcing importers to haul cargo from Mombasa Port via the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) line.
