VIPs Scamper to Safety as Snake Appears at Presidential Dais Ahead of Uhuru's Event in Kisumu

VIPs sitting at the presidential dais at the State Lodge in Kisumu and awaiting President Uhuru Kenyatta’s arrival scampered for safety after a snake appeared at the dias.

Leaders who were waiting for President Uhuru to arrive and preside over a gala for the national drama festival were forced to free from their seats as Presidential security detail killed the snake, later identified to be a non-poisonous green mamba.

The commotion lasted about 10 minutes and everything was back to normal by the time the president arrived at the venue.
