Tension as Governor refuses to shake hands with MP in Uhuru Central Park

Tensions between two leaders have taken a tricky turn after a Central Kenya Governor who has been having frosty relationship with several MPs in his county refused to greet one of them as they were waiting the arrival of the President at a venue.

According to insiders, when the legislator extended his hand in a cordial greeting to the governor, the politician slapped it away and shouted an insult at his perceived rival leaving other leaders perturbed by the sudden outburst.

The governor has been upset over what he terms are attempts to undermine his authority due to 2022 ambitions from the legislators, an allegation the MPs have vehemently denied.
