MUST WATCH: Video Emerges Chiefs, Locals Running As Gunshots Ring Out at Narok in Ruto’s Presence

A video has emerged showing local chiefs and members of the public running for safety at the Maa Cultural Week celebrations in Narok, where President William Ruto was in attendance and where the crowd reportedly erupted into chaos.

The footage was shared by A.M Media on its verified X account about forty minutes before this report, and it has already drawn thousands of views.

The outlet described the scene as one in which local chiefs and Narok residents fled after suspected goons disrupted the cultural event.

According to the video and the accompanying account, gunshots were heard as the crowd scattered, though that detail has not been independently verified, and no official source has confirmed that live rounds were fired.

The account added that the crowd erupted, with some people singing WANTAM songs while stones and chairs were thrown.

The mention of those songs has carried political weight, since they have often been used by supporters opposed to the President’s camp. Their use at a state-attended event has not been explained, and the organisers have not responded to the claim.

The incident fits a pattern of unrest that has marked the day. Citizen TV Kenya earlier reported a fierce clash between rival groups at Sekenani Gate, and a newspaper report said stones and rungus flew about 500 metres from the venue, leaving more than ten people injured and delaying the President’s entry.

Mutembei TV has also claimed that leaders allied to him were booed, while Sir Metuo Media alleged that a dispute over capes with a slogan sparked the first confrontation. Several of those claims remain unconfirmed.

The President later addressed the gathering. KTN News Kenya reported that he spoke on infrastructure, land and the opposition, while Citizen TV Kenya reported that he urged the community not to be led by people with hidden agendas. He did not directly address the violence.

Police have not yet said whether shots were fired, who the suspected goons were, or whether anyone has been arrested.

The organising committee and the presidential communications team have also not issued a statement.

Many Kenyans who have watched the clip online have called for a full investigation into how such disorder unfolded around the Head of State. More details are expected as officials respond.
