Kiambu senator Kimani Wamatangi has warned politicians across the political divide against perpetuating acts that will result in chaos ahead of the 2017 general elections.
Senator Wamatangi warns that acts of intolerance by some politicians will cause animosity among Kenyans and result in violence as the country prepares for the 2017 polls.
Speaking at St Matia Mulumbu Catholic Church in Thika on Sunday, Wamatangi asked politicians to measure what they say and do during political rallies.
“Acts of intolerance being perpetuated by some politicians pose danger to the country’s peace ahead of the 2017 polls,” he said.
The Kiambu senator while citing the alleged fight between Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma and his rival Washington at Homa Bay stadium last week said that it is time Kenyans kicked out politicians who instigate hooliganism.
Wamatangi asked the National Cohesion and Integration commission (NCIC) and other government agencies to crack the whip on rogue politicians.
He said the country cannot afford to experience violence similar to the one experienced in 2007/2008.
At the same time, Wamatangi urged Kenyans to shun politicians who spew hate. He said that Kenyans have a crucial role to play for peaceful 2017 general election.
On Saturday, during the end of a three-day election preparedness conference organised by Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) in Kwale, President Uhuru Kenyatta warned politicians who spew hatred saying they will be dealt with accordingly.
He said that Jubilee government is keen to ensure peaceful 2017 elections. The President also guaranteed free, fair and transparent 2017 polls.
