The Roots Presidential candidate, George Wajackoyah was yesterday the victim of inappropriate touching by a person while on the campaign trail.
The sexual harassment was captured in a now-viral video that shows the candidate being interrupted mid-speech when a person who was below the dias stuck out their hand and touched Wajackoyah below the waist.
The charismatic politician instantly stopped his speech in shock with his bodyguards and entourage instantly looking into the crowd to see who had committed the troubling act.
But Wajackoyah took the inappropriate action like a champ and made light of the action saying in Kiswahili,
"Sasa huyu ananishika sehemu zangu za nyeti. (Now this person is touching my private parts)." Before the crowd erupted in guffaws.
Watch the video below;

Funny thing is that Kenyans didn't react as one would expect. Our fellow countrymen decided to see the 'funny' side (as had Wajackoyah) of the whole video referring to the Roots Party leader's Tingiza Mti motto and saying that the harasser was just following the script.
Some of the comments are below;

Wajackoyah seems to have brushed off the disappointment of not being allowed to debate Ruto and (Raila if he had attended) at the presidential debate on the same stage.
He has recovered splendidly and has been campaigning in places you will not see most presidential candidates go to, like in the story below;
