It seems the effects of the Madoadoa sentiments at William Ruto’s Eldoret rally have taken shape with various aspirants in different parties crying foul.
Barely 24 hours after Mithika Linturi incited Eldoret residents not to allow candidates not supporting William Ruto to be in Eldoret, an aspirant has come out to reveal how his house was touched and cows stolen following the sentiments
“So its sad that this morning when i was coming from Eldoret town, I got home and when i was coming from my house i found out that it has been burnt down which was sad. I was lucky that I was not home last night because I don’t know what could have happened.” He said.
The ODM aspirant continued: ” So right now my life is in danger and I think this is political because this area being in Rift Valley is dominated by the UDA party so people are against other parties. As a Kenyan it is very sad because we have to be democratic and everybody has a right to vie for any seat in any party. I don’t know what these people are but I am sure this is just political.”
Meru senator Mithika Linturi was on Sunday morning arrested by the hawk eyed criminal detectives following his hateful remarks at William Ruto’s Eldoret rally.
The arrest came in the wake of a directive by the directorate of public prosecutions boss Mr. Noordin Haji who wrote to the Inspector General police Mr. Hillary Mutyambai to arrest, investigate and share the findings with his office.
Mithika Linturi’s video went viral on Saturday where he advanced hate speech at a United democratic alliance held at the Eldoret Sports Club.
Mithika Linturi said: “Watu wa Uasin Gishu musicheze na Kenya, na kile nawaomba ni kwamba madoadoa yale mulionayo hapa muweze kuondoa‘,”
These sentiments drew sharp criticisms from Kenyans and key political leaders in the country, arguing that such remarks were a recipe for violence towards the 2022 general elections.
