On July 23, 2019, Sirisia MP John Waluke issued a public apology to the Luo community over remarks he made last week that cast the community in a negative light.

The MP further extended the apology to Jubilee Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju, stating that the remarks were a slip of the tongue and not intended to attack the community.

“I am sorry for the comments that seemed to target the Luo community and Mr Tuju. I sincerely apologise and promise them I will never utter the remarks again,” Mr Waluke told a press briefing in Parliament on Tuesday.

The MP is expected to present himself to the Police at the Kilimani police station on Thursday for questioning following a video clip that emerged showing him making ethnic remarks against Mr Tuju and his community.
