Another section warned him it was a sign ANC had joined the wrong outfit adding that politics is dirty.
In the video that has since gone viral, Wanjiru confronted Sakaja telling him, "I deserve respect, we are both leaders here in Nairobi."
In his response, Sakaja denied inciting the crowd to jeer at Wanjiru, further pleading with the crowd to give everyone an opportunity to talk.
"Everyone has a right to be listened to, please let’s stop this," Sakaja told the crowd.
