NCIC SHOULD BITE, IT HAS THE TEETH NOT MERELY A LIST OF SHAME

By Japheth Makau

Barely a day after National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) spoke on the shame of list of politicians; Political Parties Liaison Committee (PPLC) has come out blaming politicians of their recent acts of shamelessly acts in public.

Speaking in a Machakos hotel, Jane Njiru who is the vice-chairman of Ford Asili and in one time was the chair PPLC called upon politicians to check on their actions before 2022 elections which seem to be very volatile because of their acts. “We are calling NCIC to act and bite not only their so-called shame of list because we know these politicians are shameless enough.

We are calling our state agencies to wake up and act without favour and end these dramas”, said Njiru. “I call upon our politicians to stop dividing the country into ethnic lines or social-economic lines and this should stop as Kenya is a young country as we don’t want to see bloodshed. IEBC and registrar of political parties should crack the whip as there is the political party code of contact, and they should not wait to count votes after bloodshed.

Parties too should crack the whip so that their members toe the line”, angered Njiru added. Her sediments were lauded by the newly elected chairman of PPLC, Evans Misati, who said that they will not allow a drop of blood to be shed due to poor politics. “Like a football match we are going to introduce Red card and Yellow card to bring sanity in our politics, the card will be administered by IEBC and registrar of parties’ offices and Kenyans will be shocked to see big names left out in the forthcoming elections”, he said. On her part, political party registrar chairperson, Ann Nderitu said that what is happening in the country should be looked through political party code of contact and how parties should implement this tool.

“On our part as political party registrar, we are here to ensure that political parties are engaged in a lot of sovereignty thus we urge all political parties to maintain their code of contact during this period”,
