Nandi MCA Apologises Over Remarks Targeting Sifuna Supporters

Turfosa Kuto, the Kemeloi-Maraba representative in Nandi County’s assembly, apologised after remarks at a funeral were seen as targeting supporters of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna. She said her words had been taken out of context, asked those she had wronged to forgive her, and called for peaceful coexistence between people in Nandi and Vihiga. Kuto said she had not intended to promote hatred or violence; local MCAs condemned the remarks as divisive and unconstitutional. The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has summoned her to explain them.
