Kebaso was violently attacked by the Bomas of Kenya as he attempted to address the audience.
Moments after the lawyer entered the building, he was observed requesting the microphone shortly before chaos erupted when unidentified assailants began hurling chairs at him.
Despite efforts to maintain order, the situation escalated, forcing Kebaso to flee for safety amidst loud jeers and violence from the crowd.
Kebaso later recounted being barred from entering initially and denied a microphone upon entry, adding that the attack was planned.
“It seems plans had been made much earlier that I would be attacked.
It’s the public that demanded that I speak but it was not the wish of the emcee, TJ Kajwang’, that I speak. I was cornered, my bodyguard was injured and I was hit by more than 30 metallic chairs.
‘’It is now that I am juggling memory to see where I got it wrong and I think were enough red flags that I should have seen that I did not see. We fall, we rise, we learn,” he said.
