The video shows the fire engine maneuvering through the crowd, seemingly without any emergency to attend to.
“Let’s see if they will knock it down. Yes, continue disrupting. When we needed you to put out the fire you weren’t available.
Now is when you’re showing up you want to knock down our vehicle,” Kebaso, who was addressing residents from the roof of his vehicle, condemned the fire engine saying they should have used the same bravado to put out the fire at Hillside Academy, Endarasha instead of intimidating him.
At the same time, residents could be seen expressing their frustration with the disturbance, which interrupted the public meeting that Kebaso was leading.
