Police have been called upon to investigate the origin of leaflets circulating in parts of Nakuru town west constituency warning certain communities to leave.
The leaflets found in Kaptembwa ward earlier on Monday prompted the area MP Samuel Arama to engage security agencies.
Speaking after meeting members of the Luhya, Luo and Gusii communities who declared support for Jubilee party in Nakuru, the Jubilee leaders said that police should investigate the matter to a conclusion and arrest the culprits.
The leaders said that Nakuru was home to all communities hence the need for people to live in peace without any fears.
“Nakuru is a cosmopolitan county and anyone living here is a resident of this area no matter the tribe,” said Arama.
His sentiments echoed by Bahati Kimani Ngunjiri who said that it was wrong for some people with an evil mind to imagine that elections in Nakuru will be marred by violence.
The legislator added that as leaders they will be in the fore front to ensure that Nakuru people remain united.
“Nakuru is peaceful and we will not allow a few individuals to come in and mess with the peace we have through some leaflets,” said Ngunjiri.
He at the same time called on President Uhuru Kenyatta to ensure that Nakuru people are properly represented in government.
On her part, nominated Senator Liza Chelule who is also the Jubilee candidate for Nakuru Woman rep seat said that peace was essential in Nakuru and the country at large.
