The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has issued a stern warning to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, cautioning him against making inflammatory remarks in his ongoing political battle with President William Ruto.
Speaking in Nairobi, NCIC officials expressed concerns that Gachagua’s recent statements could fuel political divisions and incite tensions in an already polarized environment. The commission emphasized the need for responsible leadership and urged politicians to engage in constructive dialogue rather than divisive rhetoric.
Gachagua, who has been vocal in his criticism of the current administration, recently made statements that some political analysts have interpreted as provocative. The NCIC has now called upon all leaders to uphold peace and national unity, warning that any incitement will be met with legal consequences.
Political tensions have been rising between Gachagua and President Ruto, with their camps engaging in heated exchanges over governance and party leadership. As the 2027 elections draw closer, analysts warn that unchecked rhetoric could destabilize the political landscape.
The NCIC has reiterated its commitment to monitoring political discourse and taking action against individuals who violate cohesion and integration laws. The commission also encouraged Kenyans to reject divisive politics and focus on national development.
This development adds another layer to the unfolding political drama, highlighting the growing rift within Kenya’s leadership. The public now awaits Gachagua’s response to the NCIC’s warning, as political players strategize their next moves.
