Mzee Jomo Kenyatta upset during the opening of New Nyanza provincial hospital in 1969 ,This was after he was heckled by members of Odinga's KPU and stones thrown at the presidential dais leading to a bitter altercation between the two friends turned foes. This was just months after the assassination of Mboya and tension was still high in the town Before the official opening of the hospital members of KPU had disrupted his rally at Moi stadium Kisumu,when they started surging towards the VIP dais throwing stones and chanting "dume" "dume" which forced the police to open fire on the crowd. With the situation quickly deteriorating his security men whisked him to Nyanza Provincial commissioner's house where he sought refuge until 2.00 pm when he left to open the New Nyanza general hospital ( Russia ) now called Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Referral hospital. It was the last time Mzee visited Kisumu.
