A section of youths have vowed to give acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i ‘tough’ times should he fail to apologize for threatening opposition leader Raila Odinga.
In a viral video circulating online, Matiang’i is heard threatening to use outlawed Chinkororo sect to ‘deal’ with NASA demonstrators.
And in an apparent response to Matiang’i, a group of ODM youths led by Douglas Moochi of Nyamira have threatened to ‘lynch’ the minister or arrest him to face charges.
“He threatened our party leader and nothing serious has been taken against him. We shall lynch him if he is not arrested,” he said.
He further said: “We need an apology as soon as possible. A person in charge of security cannot incite Kenyans and go scot free.”
Already, a section of Kisii leaders led by area senator Sam Ongeri have called for resignation of Matiang’i.
With few days to repeat presidential elections, NASA team is expected to take its anti – IEBC campaigns to Kisii on Monday even as Odinga maintains that he will not be part of the elections.
