NCIC critisizes Raila led coalition over secession claims asking Azimio to seek alternative measures to address their issues.
The National Cohesion and Integration Commission has called out Azimio La Umoja over secession claims.
Azimio should look for other other measures to address their issues, according to a statement issued by NCIC chairman Samuel Kobia on Wednesday, 31, May, 2023.
“In as much as they feel aggrieved, secession is not the way to go, instead we urge our leaders to seek out dialogue and a peaceful and cohesive way to deal with their concerns.”
“Countries that have attempted has taken decades for them to recover if at all.”
The secession calls, according to the NCIC chair, will cause the country to break apart; adding that a few individuals shouldn’t be allowed to sabotage the aspirations of many Kenyans.
He claimed that despite their pride in their ethnic, cultural, and religious variety, Kenyans are committed to remaining one united, indivisible nation.
All leaders, according to Kobia, should be dedicated to and uphold the constitutional principles.
“Kenyans are longing for opportunities to come together, exchange ideas on the prevailing issues, and challenges, and contribute to possible solutions.”
Kobia urged Azimio to embrace bi-partisan talks because it is specific and not broad.

He said NCIC provides spaces and platforms for national conversations on economic prosperity, political stability and social cohesion.
The astatement by NCIC comes after Raila and his allies called for secession if their demands to the current regime are not addressed.
The chairperson also announced that the commission was in the process of doing an ethnic audit of public servants to ensure that they comply with the laws.
He said the report will be out soon.
Kobia at the same time warned against ethnic profiling of public servants.
He raised concerns about the emergence of criminal gangs that were banned in 2010 and 2016 which he said are out to disrupt business and loss of life.
The gangs which he claimed are being used by politicians to cause mayhem put Kenya’s reputation and brand at stake internationally.
