Uasin Gishu County deputy county commissioner Christopher Wanjau has put on notice politicians who are fond of dividing Kenyans along tribal and political lines, warning that they will be arrested and prosecuted.
Wanjau on Wednesday said that there are politicians who are spreading the gospel of hate between certain tribes ahead of 2017 general election.
"In 2007, Uasin Gishu County was badly affected by the post election violence that was instigated by politicians who were angry for power," he said.
He said Kenyans should ignore such leaders and instead embrace each other as brothers as sisters.
"I have credible reports from my officers on the ground that there are some politicians who are preaching hatred and tribalism messages among some tribes. I want to give a stern warning to such leaders that they will be arrested and prosecuted," he said.
He assured Eldoret residents of their security saying that everything is in place.
