Speaking in Kisii town on Thursday, chairman for Africa Party Cocas Stephen Onsomu Nyarangi said the remarks being made by political leaders might tear the country apart.

"It's worrying when a leader uses abusive remarks and hate speech against another person or tribe. This is dangerous at this time when the country is healing from 2007/2008 post election violence," warned Nyarangi.

He added: "Leaders should concentrate on the mandate they are bestowed with and not casting anything from their mouth that can cause chaos. They should revise and chew their words before passing them across to Kenyans."

His concerns comes in the wake of rampant cases involving political leaders making inciting and abusive statements in public. 

Among the leaders whose sentiments in rallies and other functions have been deemed inciting include; Kiambu governor William Kabogo, Machakos Senator Johntone Muthama,  Moses Kuria (Gatundu South MP) and Nairobi ODM branch chairman George Aladwa.
