On Sunday, October 13, 2019, Nyali MP Mohammed Ali expressed his disappointment with Suna East MP Junet Mohammed over his hateful remarks during the ODM campaigns at Kibra.
Junet Mohammed had threatened to lead Kibra Youth to DP William Ruto's Karen home to burn the house, allegedly over claims that Kibra voters had been collecting bribes from the deputy president at his residence.
Reacting to the incident, Mohammed Ali recalled his coverage of the 2007 Post Election Violence (PEV) and emphasized that the country should never go to war again due to inciteful remarks by politicians.
“Junet Mohammed, you are damn wrong on this one. I covered 2007 PEV. You know nothing about WAR apart from watching it on TV during that difficult time. We should never ever go back there. There are rules, they are the only one that separates us from the animals,” said Mohammed Ali.
He urged politicians to adhere to the rules and avoid making statements that could incite violence.
