NAIROBI, Kenya – Marakwet West MP Timothy Kipchumba has taken issue with Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei over his recent remarks on the abduction of Kenyans in the neighbouring countries.
Taking to his official social media platforms, the MP termed Cherargei’s remarks as disturbing.
“The sentiments by the Nandi Senator, my friend @scherargei, on the recent abductions and subsequent torture of Kenyans by the despotic regimes of Museveni and Suluhu are not only archaic, but deeply disturbing and unsettling,” said the MP.
What exactly did Senator Samson Cherargei say
Speaking during a church service in Kapsabet, Senator Cherargei asked President Yoweri Museveni (Uganda) and his Tanzanian counterpart,
Samia Suluhu Hassan is to deal with any Kenyan activist found in their countries.
“If you find any busybody activists who want to destabilise the peace and tranquillity of your countries, deal with them, then deport them to Kenya so that we can finish them,” said the senator.
