Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has told off politicians to stop hurling insults at each other and instead exercise sanity and decorum in their political engagements.
In an apparent reference to recent attacks on President Uhuru Kenyatta by MPs allied to Deputy President William Ruto, Kabogo urged politicians to be tolerant and civil.
When need be, he said, they should differ decently and with decorum instead of hurling abuses at each other.
“I don’t agree with everything else that President Kenyatta does. But I will not hurl insults at him,” he former county boss said.
In a recorded video on social his Twitter handle, he added, “I will not tell him in a manner that is disrespectful.”
Kabogo added that he may not also agree with everything that Deputy President William Ruto and ODM boss Raila Odinga do or say, he will never them in a manner that is disrespectful.
“I will not agree with everything else that William Ruto says. I may not agree with everything that Raila Odinga,” he said.
“We should have decorum. We should know that this country belongs to all of us, 47 million and not any one person or any one community,” added.
President Uhuru has lately been the recipient of harsh and fierce attacks and criticism from a section of MPs allied to DP Ruto.
Last week, a group of 41 MPs from Mt Kenya, Nairobi and Rift Valley allied to the DP Ruto a stern letter to the president ahead of the visit to his backyard last Friday.
