Lawyer Miguna Miguna has faulted President Uhuru Kenyatta for using his mother tongue to hit out at a section of politicians engaging in early 2022 campaigns.
In a tweet on Sunday, Miguna noted that it was unfortunate for the president to address a public event in his mother tongue.
"This is wrong and immoral on so many levels. It must be condemned equivocally. It was disgraceful and chauvinistic. The despot is speaking in Kikuyu and attacking his Kalenjin deputy who does not speak Kikuyu. We must arrest this CHAUVINISTIC ARROGANCE," he tweeted.
Addressing the Annual General Conference of the Akurinu Churches Assembly, at Kasarani, President Kenyatta warned leaders engaging in early campaigns, adding that he will not tolerate leaders who want to derail his agenda as long as he remains in power.
"Our unity is our strength and foundation for building a strong nation. A nation that will be able to achieve its development targets so that the children of our children will remember that there was a time when Kenyans forgot tribalism, stopped corruption, and built a country that provided jobs for the youth, drugs in hospitals and ensured no Kenyan slept hungry.
"We must learn to forgive one another, let us focus on the future instead of dwelling on the past," he said as quoted by Nation.
