The police boss said Dr Mutua was only allowed to wave at the people and not hold a public rally because it is against the recent security directives.
Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua was on Friday forced to cut short his tour of Chuka town in Tharaka Nithi's County by police enforcing recent government orders aimed at taming political tensions.
Dr Mutua arrived in Chuka a few minutes to 1pm and started addressing the crowd that had gathered along the Meru-Nairobi highway but soon after the county police boss Charles Mbatu arrived and ordered the governor to end the public meeting.
