The incident occurred at a burial ceremony that brought together former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, drawing large crowds from across Ukambani.
Kavindu, visibly angry, accused President Ruto and his allies of showing disrespect to Kalonzo while visiting the region.
She told the crowd that Ukambani deserved dignity and should not be treated as a political playground.
Her remarks were loud and emotional, sparking cheers from sections of the audience and visible discomfort among others.
She warned that leaders who insult local figures should expect resistance from residents.
Kavindu insisted that respect must be mutual, saying leaders should not demand courtesy while using abusive language against those they meet.
She strongly defended Kalonzo Musyoka, describing him as a leader who has stood with the people of Ukambani for decades.
In her address, Kavindu went further to attack President William Ruto and his allies, accusing them of ignoring the region except when it suits their political interests.
She urged residents to reject leaders who, in her view, only remember Ukambani during funerals or campaign seasons.
The remarks quickly spread on social media, igniting debate over political tolerance and respect during public functions.
While some praised Kavindu for speaking boldly, others felt her language crossed the line and risked deepening political divisions.
The incident highlights the growing political tension in the country as leaders position themselves ahead of future contests.
It also reflects the strong emotions surrounding regional loyalty and the demand for recognition in national politics, especially in areas that feel sidelined by the current administration.
