MP Causes Scene As He Defies Uhuru Order, Refuses Mandatory Covid-19 Screening

Tana River County Communication officer Steve Juma stated that Wario engaged in an argument with the officers and forcefully went through the checkpoint unscreened.

“He forcefully entered through the checkpoints unscreened,” Juma stated.

On his part, Tana River CEC Javan Bonaya stated that when the MP arrived at the checkpoint in Kanagoni, he termed the exercise as annoying and refused to participate.

“Our field officers tried to speak to him about the screening but he refused, caused a scane and threatened to interfere with the entire exercise if he was not allowed to pass,” Bonaya stated.

The legislator is also said to have tossed temperature test kits and threw away the spikes at the checkpoint before he drove off, leaving residents in utter shock.

While confirming the incident, Tana River County Commissioner Oning’oi Ole’ Sosio accused the MP of disrespecting the set government directive of taking precautions against the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
