President Uhuru Kenyatta has been urged to summon MPs Kimani Ngunjiri and Moses Kuria over the alleged ethnic incitement comments they have made recently.
The two are among the eight people who were detained for four days by a Nairobi court over hate speech and were denied bail to allow room for independent investigations.
But former Kitutu Masaba MP Walter Nyambati has disowned the two legislators terming them ‘dangerous species’ to peaceful co-existence of communities.
“The Jubilee Alliance Party is a peaceful party and cannot be narrowed to ethnic bickering by the two legislators in the name of Kuria and Kimani. They should be summoned by the President because they are a disgrace to our party,” he said during a telephone interview on Wednesday.
“I have been monitoring them for a longtime and I think they are dangerous species to our peaceful coexistence and a laughing stock to our president. I condemn their continued involvement in hatred remarks,” he added.
Nyambati also took a swipe against Cord leader Raila Odinga accusing him also of tolerating impunity in the party by allowing legislators allied to him to make ‘reckless’ statements that could disintegrate the country.
“It should also be noted that Mr Odinga has also a responsibility of taming his troops who are constantly engaging in unnecessary debates uttering reckless speeches. We want our country to remain peaceful and it’s my plea that the country’s leadership will take an action against those who are inciting Kenyans.
