UDA leaders in Ukambani have called on the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) to take action against opposition leaders they accuse of making inflammatory and divisive remarks ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The leaders spoke in Kola, Machakos County, during an economic empowerment programme targeting women and youth groups.
Mwala MP Vincent Musyoka urged the NCIC to summon politicians accused of making statements that could undermine national cohesion and peace.
Musyoka said the commission should go beyond issuing summons and recommend legal action against leaders found to have promoted hate speech or incited division.
The legislator also claimed that divisions were emerging within the opposition, citing Siaya Governor James Orengo’s declaration of his intention to seek the presidency as an indication of growing political differences.
Musyoka further accused former President Uhuru Kenyatta of financing opposition activities, without providing evidence for the claim.
Former State House Chief of Staff Nzioka Waita called for peaceful politics, urging residents to support leaders focused on delivering development projects.
Kalama MCA Bonface Maeke urged voters to look beyond political parties when choosing leaders, saying their priority should be the ability of individual leaders to deliver services and development to the people.
Machakos Town MP Caleb Mule defended the UDA activities, saying the meetings were not political rallies but grassroots economic empowerment initiatives targeting women and youth.
The leaders also weighed in on the ongoing budget dispute between Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti and some members of the County Assembly.
They called on both sides to embrace dialogue and resolve the disagreement within the framework of the Constitution, warning that prolonged political wrangling could undermine service delivery to residents.
