Mbooni MP Kisoi Munyao has cautioned politicians across the political divide against making inflammatory remarks in their political campaigns.
The MP wants politicians to exercise tolerance and maturity in their campaigns ahead of the August 8 general elections.
Speaking during an interview on K24 on Thursday morning, Munyao warned that the country is likely to experience violence if politicians who perpetuate hate incitement are not dealt with.
“It is unfortunate that some politicians have not learnt from what happened in 2007/2008 and are keen to cause violence through reckless talk,” he said.
Munyao said that politicians take advantage of the electioneering period to spew hatred in the name of searching for votes.
The Mbooni lawmaker asked relevant government agencies to crack the whip on hate mongers.
“The institutions put in place by the constitution to guard against hate mongering and incitement must do their work and tame rogue politicians who are out to incite Kenyans ahead of the August 8 polls,” he said.
The MP also warned Kenyans against being used by politicians to instigate violence.
He said that the country must remain peaceful for credible elections to be realized.
Meanwhile, the MP has warned politicians against politicizing the ongoing voter registration exercise.
According to Munyao, politicians across the divide have already politicized the ongoing voter registration process.
He warns that IEBC might not meet its target in the voter registration exercise since politicians are using the process to campaign for themselves instead of rally voters to register.
On the same note, the MP has also cautioned politicians against forcing Kenyans to register. He says that its illegal for any one to be forced to register as a voter.
The second phase of mass voter registration started on Monday with IEBC targeting to register six Million new voters in the one month long exercise.
