Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has called upon the army to ensure Kenyans are protected from attacks.
Speaking on his Facebook page on Monday, the debutant legislator said that amid the political tensions in the country, it is upon the military to stand their ground and help 'their people' against being killed.
He said that some groups in the country are working on eliminating others and that this must be prevented at all costs.
"I call upon the police and army not to watch as their people are being killed by the (said groups). Wake up and support your people," he said.
However, his sentiments received a backlash from a section of Kenyans on the opposite side of the political divide with some viewing it as a call for civil war and genocide.
"Bullshit Babu... Do you know what you are calling for? Be careful what you wish for. War is nothing to joke around with because when it comes it destroys everyone.. . No one wins all sides lose... Think on that," said Hillary Nyaga.
