Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala has been summoned by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) over utterances he made that allegedly hinted at locking out COTU boss Francis Atwoli from holding a meeting at Bukhungu stadium on December 31, 2021.
In a statement on Monday, NCIC said all political players are welcome to campaign and visit any part of the country they wish and as such no one has the right to block them from doing so.
“Kenya has no bedrooms and living rooms for any politician and there is no space for locking out other politicians from any political side from any part of the country,” the NCIC Boss Rev Samuel Kobia.
“These summons also mean that Malala is now a prime candidate for inclusion in the wall of shame; as well as facing the full force of the law.”
Kobia similarly added that NCIC will continue to monitor the nation to ensure politicians do not make inciting remarks ahead of the 2022 polls and that hatemongers are not cleared to run for political office.
Malala made the utterances on December 24, 2021 when he attended the 41st Vihiga Cultural Festival.
“I want to say there is no meeting in Bukhungu Stadium on the 31st. We don't want brokers in Luhya politics,” Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala said
“The worst part of it is that they will say Raila Tosha. Why don't you go and do it in Kondele or Siaya? Kakamega is a no go zone.”
Atwoli intends to use the meeting to rally the Luhya nation to back Raila Odinga’s Azimio la Umoja Movement .
