While speaking to mourners in Chuluni, Kitui East Constituency , Malonza a fomer Deputy governor in Kitui County faced it rough after she tried to defend President William Ruto’s constant abroad trips and the rising high cost of living.
Malonza’s attempts to defend the head of state that he was adressing the high cost of living got mourners more irritated forcing her to hasten her speech as the angry crowd continued to boo and shout at her.
“The cost of living is very high, even the President understands that. That is why you see him going abroad to borrow money because we found empty coffers. But he is making sure that the cost of living will go down,” she said
She was forced to plead with the crowd to allow her to finish her speech as mourners got more agitated by her speech .
