‘Tribal politics will continue messing up this country’ – Caleb Amisi warns Kenyans

‘Tribal politics will continue messing up this country’ – Amisi warns Kenyans against politicians playing tribal cards for top positions 

On Sunday, January 5, 2024, Amisi expressed his concerns on his official X account, joining numerous Kenyans apprehensive about the nation’s perilous political trajectory.

He cautioned that if left unchecked, tribal politics could destabilize the country. The Sabouti Member of Parliament warned citizens against populist politicians who seek to exploit ethnic divisions to secure high-level government positions.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) representative urged Kenyans to remain vigilant of leaders, both in government and the opposition, who are determined to pit one community against another.

“Tribal politics will mess up this country if not cautioned beforehand. Kenyans must be weary of leaders both in government and in opposition who are hell-bent to play one community against the other for top leadership,” Amisi stated.

Amisi further asserted that dictators and despots flourish in a political atmosphere where individuals are incited to turn against one another.

He cautioned Kenyans to resist the temptation to be provoked by politicians into engaging in ethnically motivated conflicts. According to Amisi, politicians readily reconcile and socialize as if no discord prior existed.

“Dictators and despots thrive in such chaos and democratic pandemonium. Dear Kenyans, unless you are inherently stupid, never again should you be incited by any leader to hack another Kenya on ethnically motivated politics. Leaders easily make peace and dine together as if nothing happened, but you will have a date with God the Almighty if not ICC,” he said.
