Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri has once again been thrust to the limelight over hate speech remarks. He is accused of threatening the eviction of one community in Nakuru.
He has been summoned by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) to appear before it on Thursday.
Being the character he is, the MP has made it clear that he will not appear before the commission because 'Kaparo cannot summon him through the media'.
The abrasive MP chided Kaparo that unlike him who was nominated, he (Ngunjiri) was elected by the people.
Kimani is not new to controversy; back in 1997 he is alleged to have punched a Nakuru-based lawyer called Waiganjo Mwangi during campaigns at Kiamaina Secondary School. It is not yet clear how the matter went with claims that the police refused to issue the lawyer with P3 forms hence no case was iniated.
Nakuru politician Koigi wa Wamwere has also tasted the wrath of this former Nakuru branch chairman. It was back in the year 2014 during a Harambee function at a primary school in the then Subukia constituency when a violent confrontation broke out as the politicians pounced each other.
The situation turned ugly as the two outspoken guys punched each other hard. Media records of the incident are not clear who emerged the winner by the time kicks and blows stopped.
Reports indicate trouble began when Ngunjiri accused Koigi of using the CDF to gain undue political mileage at the expense of his rivals. Koigi shot up from his position and accused Kanu, where Ngunjiri was a foot soldier, of perpetrating corruption, murders of political revivals among other evils.
Irked by Koigi’s sentiments, Ngunjiri pounced at him.
In August 2013, Ngunjiri was at it again. He was accused of punching a female traffic cop who tried to obstruct Mheshimiwa's vehicle.
In his defense, he said the cop had a loose tongue which threw obscenities at him. The two later agreed and settled the matter out of court.
But nothing captures the cloth the MP is cut from more than a scene in Parliament where he chewed his colleague's thumb. It was during the passing of a Security Bill where opposition and government members in the house clashed, Ngunjiri said the war needed new tactics thus biting Dagoretti North's MP Simba Arati finger.
But no one knows the first time MP’s temper better than one Godwin Kipkemoi.
Kipkemoi, a lawyer, narrates how he once crossed paths with Ngunjiri; he had been nominated as a councillor in Nakuru County Council.
Ngunjiri did not like it and with his usual no nonsense approach swung into action and opposed the nomination.
From that point, a bad blood grew between the two.
In one sweaty afternoon, they were in a meeting when Ngunjiri accused Kipkemoi of opposing him. Before comprehending what the matter was with Ngunjiri, his coat was torn as his shirt’s buttons were strewn all over.
