Kajiado MP Peris Tobiko has blamed Opposition NASA and held them responsible for the recent killing of 300 Maasai cows in Laikipia.
According to police reports, officers were fighting bandits and the cows were caught up in the crossfire.
Ms Tobiko has however claimed that the officers involved were "acting for the Opposition to sabotage the economy".
"I am a die-hard Jubilee supporter but when the rights of my people are trampled upon, I will stand up with them and demand for justice. How have we wronged those around us?" she said while speaking in Isinya on Wednesday.
"The Maasai communities of Laikipia, unlike those in Kajiado, never sold their land but were forcefully leased out to colonialists," she claimed.
"I am now advising my good government not to renew expired land leases in Laikipia and instead revert back the property to their original owners," she added.
