The Energy CS Davis Chirchir encountered a hostile crowd while speaking in Bomet.
Chirchir had joined the head of state, president William Ruto, among other government officials in a thanksgiving at a church in Sotik, Bomet County on Sunday November 19.
During his time to address the gathering, there were shouts and heckles, forcing him to just give a brief speech.
“Thank you so much, your excellency, thank you for coming to pray with us today here in Sotil. It’s like home for me. As far as the electricity situation we are going to fix it,” he said and proceeded to his seat.

Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok, who was the emcee at the event, tried to calm the crown in vain.
President Ruto however just watch as the drama unfolded.
This has stirred mixed reactions among Kenyans., with some claiming that the hecklers were paid to embarrass the CS.
“Raila Odinga has hired goons from kondele to heckle CS Chirchir speech at Kericho. Why are they painting a bad image to our very reputable CS,” A Twiiter User said.
Alinur Mohamed said, “Energy CS Davis Chirchir was a few minutes ago heckled and booed at by UDA supporters in Sotik, Bomet County. This happened in front of President William Ruto who is attending a church service there. Ground ime change? We blame Uhuru and Raila for paying the crowd to misbehave.”
