National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has denounced attempts to label communities as terrorists, insisting that every Kenyan holds a constitutional right to live and work anywhere in the country.
Speaking in Lagdera Constituency, Modogashe, Garissa County, on Sunday, August 24, 2025, Ichung’wah criticized what he described as careless and divisive rhetoric targeting specific groups. He stressed that no Kenyan should face discrimination because of their identity or origin.
“Tukiskia mtu anasema wasomali ni terrorist tunamwambia shetani ashindwe, wasomali na kila mtu ako na haki ya kuishi Kenya mahali popote na pia haki ya kufanya biashara kila mahali Kenya hii,” Ichung’wah said.
The Majority Leader commended Deputy President Kithure Kindiki as a national leader who believes in unity and equity. He defended Kindiki against the accusations of partiality, emphasizing that the Deputy President is in the business of serving with professionalism and not prejudice.
“Kindiki sio Mkabila, hana chuki, na pia yeye ni Msomi,” he said.
Ichung’wah added that the government’s development agenda in regions like Garissa demonstrates its commitment to serve all Kenyans equally.
The Kikuyu MP further criticized leaders he accused of fueling division for their own political gain.
“Wale wengine wako na akili kidogo ya ukabila na uchochezi hatuwatambui,” Ichung’wah remarked.
The Majority Leader reiterated that inclusivity, peace, and respect for diversity are central to the stability of Kenya. He called on residents to embrace uniteness and seek economic empowerment, pointing to government investment in infrastructure and facilitation of trade as key drivers of growth in marginal regions.
