National Super Alliance (Nasa) co-principal Moses Wetangula has cautioned Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery against being used by the government and the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) chairman Francis Ole Kaparo to intimidate the Opposition.

“We all know that freedom of speech and expression and fair comment are all rights that are enshrined in our constitution and nobody is going to criminalise anyone during the 2017 campaigns,” said Wetangula.

“We want to warn Kaparo that his role is not to reprieve us our fundamental freedom of speech,” he added.

The Bungoma senator spoke, Monday, after he was cleared to defend his seat under the Ford Kenya party ticket.

He was accompanied Nasa running mate Kalonzo Musyoka, Kakamega senator Bonny Khalwale, Makueni senator Mutula Kilonzo among other leaders.
