ODM party leader, Hon Raila Odinga has condemned the violence that rocked Murang'a County on Sunday leading to the death of two people, as he asked politicians to shun early 2022 presidential campaigns.
"This Spectre of violence and vandalism in the name of a presidential election that is over two years away should be a serious cause for concern to all peace-loving Kenyans," Mr Odinga said in a statement issued on Monday.
He went on: " If this continues, and it easily can, it could spiral out of control and anxiety, our citizens will shift their priorities from rebuilding the country to an election that is way far."
He also called on the government to move with speed to investigate and punish the culprits.
"I appeal to the government to move with speed, and fairly but firmly deal with the people behind the violence so as to pass an unmistakable message that Kenyans don't deserve this and it must stop," he said.
