Ezra Chiloba forced to flee after a group of rowdy Azimio protesters disrupted his press briefing in Kisumu.
Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) Director General Ezra Chiloba evaded the wrath of Kisumu protesters who took to the streets to voice their displeasure over the high cost of living.
Chiloba was overseeing the ceremony to honor international consumer rights day at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga sports facility.
The rowdy youths invaded the event, minutes after Chiloba started addressing the press.
This prompted Chiloba to cut short his event and dash to his vehicle.
The demonstrators had trekked from Kondele to the County Commissioner’s office where they issued a memorandum.
Unknown to the demonstrators, the vehicle ferrying out Chiloba was making out of his way as they gain entry into the complex sending panic to the organizers.
They were shouting the name of Owalo, looking for him everywhere, in the tents, in the toilets.
The demonstrators overrun the event as those who were on the queue for lunch run for safety.
They stormed the catering services taking all food as organizers and their visitors went without food.
The demonstrators could be seen sipping juice, others eating boiled eggs.
“You can be inside here feeling good when we go hungry. We only see these juice on TV,” said one demonstrator.

One of the Azimio protestors rallied the crowd to prepare for the Monday, March 20, mass action.
“We owe no one an apology. We have a right to picket and therefore we say, Ruto must go. On Monday, March 20, all of us are going to Nairobi and going to tell Ruto to get out of State House,” he stated.
All the fliers were pulled out as a handful of police who were giving security to the event stand without taking any action.
Organizers who had mounted stands hurriedly closed shop for fear of looting of their products, which were on display.
The youth were protesting the high cost of living in readiness for the Monday, March 20, 2023, mass action called for by Azimio’s Raila Odinga.
