Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has raised concern over the misconduct of Kenya Kwanza leaders at President Ruto’s events.
Speaking in Tharaka Nithi County on Wednesday, June 12, Kindiki detailed that he had noted a trend where some politicians were hiring hecklers to attend President William Ruto’s events.
Kindiki stated that politicians would often direct the hecklers to jeer some speakers and cause embarrassment to the presidency.
Therefore, the CS warned that security agencies would be on high alert, promising to deal with the indiscipline firmly as was done during the anti-government protests last year.
“I have noticed that some leaders who belong to the president’s political faction have now become indisciplined. We have seen during the President’s visit, that people are bringing chaos and embarrassment. Let us have order and respect.
“When you bring people in a bus to heckle others, you are becoming a clown. You are not embarrassing the President, because, it looks bad on you,” he stated.
Alternatively, he advised the leaders to unite and speak in a common voice and articulate the issues that were affecting their people.
On the other hand, the CS also developed into the ongoing debate on the one-man, one-vote, one-shilling which has been described as a tribal debate.
He cautioned leaders against promoting discrimination against parts of the country noting that all Kenyans deserved to get development.
“Any person of whatever nature who undermines the security and security of Kenya is an enemy by nature. The government under President Ruto does not condone sectional and sectarian discrimination.

“Anybody who tells people about their tribe is an enemy of the country and the police will be alert to deal with them,” he stated.
The CS has been one of the leaders that have opposed the one-man one-shilling debate that has been propergated by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
The push by Gachagua has also seen him come under sharp criticism from other leaders and the Head of State himself.
Nonetheless, Gachagua has defended himself against accusations of being a tribalist, adding that he was only interested in uniting and addressing issues affecting the Mt Kenya region.
“The fact that I am the Deputy President does not extinguish my right as a Kenyan and as per the constitution to have an opinion, but that opinion is not a command, it’s just an opinion,” the DP stated.
