Popular Somali-Luo MP Now Wants Mutahi Ngunyi Charged For His ‘Demeaning Statements’
‘Tyranny Of Numbers’ political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has been getting some serious flack for some comments he made on Twitter.
Mutahi was accused of insulting and degrading the Luo community through a series of tweets. Which in hindsight was a bad idea as Kenyans from all walks of life are displeased about the comments which you can check out below
Mutahi took to Twitter to apologize after hue and cry but Mohamed Junet , the first Kenyan Somali to be elected Member of the National Assembly in Nyanza Province is not buying it.
The Suna East M.P took to social media to “ call upon relevant authorities to take up the matter and pursue it legally.”
It is our intention as Luos not to henceforth take lightly any slight innuendo, rumour or statements of insignificant facts which attempt to define our economic situation.
My people of Suna East, and myself, take great exception to demeaning statements coming from well known government quarters.
Any apology being offered should take into account the fact that such statements are likely to be repeated in future, hence, I join my other brothers and sisters, and all naturalized Luos, friends of Luos, all people of western Kenya and, indeed, all Kenyans, in calling upon relevant authorities to take up the matter and pursue it legally.
As for unwarranted, injurious and malicious falsehoods on the person of Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, we urge them to get very good lawyers.
Finally, if indeed we Luos are poor; we urge the government not to continue impoverishing us by destroying the few industries located in our region.
This has been going since 1960s and must now stop.
