It was a cat-and-mouse chase between police and Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang'ula, in the latter's meet-the-people tour.
The armed riot police made Mr Wetang'ula's visit to the region difficult as they erected roadblocks on all the roads he had planned to use.
The senator, who had started his tour from Webuye to Kimilili, then to Chwele and Bungoma town, had to cut short his trip at Kamukuywa trading centre, as police scuttled his bid to address the people.
The police officers camped at the senator's gate to block other leaders and residents from entering.
Speaking at his home, Mr Wetang'ula condemned the harassment by police, saying that he had notified them that he was going to tour the county and he was given the go-ahead.
