Lawyer Apollo Mboya has written to the National Cohesion and Integration Commission to demand action taken against Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi.

According to Mboya, on Saturday, April 1, the legislator while in the company of unknown individuals at his home uttered words that incited feelings of hatred against the Luo Community.

In a letter seen by the Star, the lawyer says Sudi's words in the press conference held at his home could have resulted in violence against the community. 

He cites among other things Sudi said, "Shame on you wajaluo na viongozi wajaluo, nyinyi ni wakumbafu. This translates to, "Shame on you Luos and Luo leaders, you are foolish."

Mboya said his remarks went against section 62 of the National Cohesion and Integration Act.

"This is now to request that you exercise your mandate pursuant to National Cohesion and Integration Act and take the necessary action against the Member of Parliament with a view to further averting contempt, hatred, hostility, violence, and discrimination against the Luo community," the letter reads.

Mboya further cautioned should the NCIC fail to take action against the MP in 24 hours, he will file a legal suit against the Commission and the Kapseret MP.

During the presser, Sudi urged Azimio leader Raila Odinga to groom a successor and quit politics instead of engaging in anti-government protests.

Sudi said Raila was becoming a liability to the Luo community and the country after five failed attempts at the presidency.

He said many people had lost their lives and property championing Raila's quest but he has never gone back to condole with them. 

"You must be foolish to have lost five elections and you still want to mislead Kenyans as you have always done," Sudi said.

He alleged that many people have suffered in the ongoing demos because of Odinga. By Brian Oruta, The Star
