The controversial Ikamba song has continued to elicit mixed reactions from different factions with a section of Kenyans calling for the arrest of the two musicians behind the hateful song.
On Wednesday, the Makueni County Assembly passed a motion petitioning Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Senate to ensure action is taken against the duo.
While moving the motion, majority leader Kyalo Mumo argued that the artistes Isaiah, Waharaka and producer Davinaz Pictures composed the song with the aim of causing ethnic division among the two communities.
Nominated MCA Mbula Mutula claimed that a section of leaders were using the two artists to propagate hate speech, adding that an action should be taken against them over the same.
The leaders faulted Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria and Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu for allegedly supporting the two artists.
“If immediate action is not taken, we will close Mombasa-Nairobi Highway and send our message in a depraved way,” Mutula said.
Makindu MCA Alfred Kituku alleged that Waititu's social media account clearly shows that he supports the ethnic message the artists are passing across.
