The director of public prosecution, Keriako Tobiko has
directed DCI director Ndegwa Muhoro and National cohesion Integration
commission (NCIC) to investigate current ODM’s Nairobi county branch chairman
George Aladwa over hate speech remarks.
This is in response to a video that emerged on Wednesday, October
21 of him inciting a charged crowd during Mashujaa day celebrations in Kibera.
In the video that has been doing rounds on social media,
Aladwa allegedly said that if the 2017 election will be rigged, a few people
must die for Raila to become President.
A number of Kenyans took to social media via the hashtag
#ArrestAladwa to express their disappointment in Aladwa, some demanding for his
arrest.
NCIC chairman Francis Ole Kaparo on Thursday expressed his
disappointment adding that investigations into the matter had begun. He also
said that action will be taken after analysis of the video.
The former Nairobi mayor is also captured warning National
Assembly majority leader and Garissa town member of parliament Adan Duale and
Gatundu south MP Moses Kuria against linking CORD principle Raila Odinga to DP William
Ruto’s ICC case over the 2007/8 post-election violence.
Jubilee leaders have come out to condemn Aladwa and demanded
he be arrested for his reckless remarks and be charged for hate speech. They said
the utterances were a plot being hatched by CORD after sensing 2017 defeat.
The ODM chairman will join other leaders on the spot over
hate speech and incitement to violence. The leaders facing separate incitement
charges include; Johnstone Muthama, Moses Kuria and political analyst Mutahi
Ngunyi.
