Published on October 2, 2021, Deputy President William Ruto has called for an investigation into former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga and a former Molo MP for allegedly inciting ethnic violence.
Speaking during a roadside rally in Nakuru, Ruto claimed that the duo were acting under the instructions of his main competitor, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Leader Raila Odinga.
'I want to tell my friend, 'Bwana Tinga, those you have contracted, the Chairman of Mungiki and the former Molo MP who are today preaching hate, and division and ethnicity, in your podiums. We want to tell you Kenya is not ready for that kind of politics of violence, and division and politics of hate,' he said.
Ruto's call for an investigation comes as the 2022 presidential race intensifies, with Nakuru playing a significant role in the region's political landscape.
