Chief Executive Officer of the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) Ezekiel Mutua has reprimanded Cherangany MP Joshua Kuttuny for attacking Deputy President William Ruto’s allies during BBI rally in Mombasa.
In a tweet, Mutua said that the remarks by the lawmaker are unacceptable and ill-intended. He argued that time has come for leaders to send a message of unity and not division.
“Peace-loving Kenyans should condemn and reject the divisive and confrontational tone in the @TheRealBBI debate such as what's being championed by people like Kutuny. BBI is for uniting the nation, not dividing people,’ he said.
In his speech, Kuttuny had asked the allies of the second in command to apologize for making derogatory remarks against Raila. He said that there is no way they will sit and watch the leaders intimidating Raila for their political mileage.
“All the speakers affiliated to that [Ruto’s] camp, today are all referring to Raila Odinga as Baba, Baba. Reality has dawned on them that the political wave and goodwill are with Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta. See now, they couldn’t help, but join us,” said Kutuny.
During the meeting, Raila said that the BBI train has left the station. He asked those opposed to the report to rethink their decision.
