Mike Sonko, Simba Arati, Silvanos Osore, and Yohanna Ng’eno named as The ”Bad boys ”of Kenyan politics by Ncic.
The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has named former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko alongside MPs Simba Arati (Dagoretti North), Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango), and Johana Ng’eno (Emurua Dikir) in its inaugural list of shame over their political bad manners.
According to a press release today by NCIC chairman Rev. Dr. Samuel Kobia, the commission shall henceforth publish the names of politicians and citizens whose words or conduct may undermine peace and harmony pursuant to the NCI Act 2008.
As MPs Simba Arati and co were busy competing on who could spew more hate and bile, their counterparts were basking in glory as they made it to the list of fame for those whose actions are commendable, Hon Mohamed Abdikhaim Osman (MP Fafi) and Charity Gathambi (MP Njoro) received a special mention by the commission.
In the recent past, we have noted with concern, political factions, especially from Kieleweke and TangaTanga, engaging in vicious and selfish rhetoric. We are saddened by acts of violence and negative political rhetoric by some politicians and their followers,” said Dr. Kobia.
“We condemn the toxicity of these baseless acts and take this early opportunity to remind politicians witnessed fighting and insulting each other in public, that this is an insult to Kenyans who voted for you!” added Dr Kobia.
The commission has urged all politicians to go slow on the hate rhetoric even to ensure peace and tranquility is maintained only 15 months to the general election.
