Mwala Member of Parliament Vincent Musyoka, popularly known as Kawaya, has urged security agencies to take decisive action against political leaders he accused of inciting violence, warning that Kenya must not relive the turmoil experienced after the 2017 General Election.
Speaking on Tuesday during a development tour of Masii Ward, Kawaya challenged the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Ministry of Interior and National Administration to arrest individuals allegedly mobilizing violence for political gain.
The legislator said Kenyans were still haunted by memories of past political unrest, during which lives were disrupted and property destroyed, insisting that the country could not afford another cycle of politically instigated violence.
Kawaya alleged that some politicians were using violence to gain public sympathy ahead of next year's elections, claiming such tactics threatened national peace and stability. He specifically mentioned Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him and other unnamed leaders of mobilizing supporters to fuel unrest.
The MP called on security agencies to investigate and prosecute anyone found to be organizing or financing acts of violence, regardless of their political status, saying the rule of law should be applied equally to all.
"We are not ready to witness such destruction again. Those mobilizing violence and disturbing the peace must be arrested before the situation escalates," Kawaya said.
His remarks came as he commissioned and launched several development projects across Masii Ward. The projects included last-mile electricity connectivity, newly constructed Grade 9 classrooms, administration offices, and the installation of high-mast floodlights in shopping centres aimed at improving security and supporting local businesses.
Kawaya said the projects underscored the government's commitment to improving infrastructure and public services while calling on residents to maintain peace as the country prepares for the 2027 General Election.
His comments add to the growing national debate over political intolerance and security, with leaders from different political camps continuing to exchange accusations over recent incidents of violence and unrest
