Governor Kinuthia Mbugua has denied
spearheading any hate campaign against
CORD leader Raila Odinga and his supporters
in Nakuru County.
He defended his decision to ban anti-IEBC
protests in the region claiming such
demonstration might ignite ethnic tensions
among residents ahead of the next General
Election.
"Nakuru has in the past suffered due to
political competition. We have, however,
resolved as a county to make peace with
ourselves. Anti-IEBC protests will not be
allowed in Nakuru because the issue CORD
has is with the IEBC commissioners and they
do not sit in Nakuru," Mr Mbugua said
yesterday in a statement.
Speaking only a few days after a group of
youths attempted to stop Raila's meeting in
the county, the governor said the former
prime minister was welcomed in the county as
long as he does not hold what he described as
"tribal meetings".
ODM MPs led by Suna East legislator Junet
Mohamed have accused the governor of being
behind hate campaign against Raila and party
supporters in the county.
