Rift Valley leaders demanded arrest of William Kamket over instigation
William who began his speech in a neutral tone by urging the residents of Pokot Mukutani to live peacefully with the residents of the Tugen and Ilchamus tribes, his firm stance on the issues about the town of Mukutani, which was being divulged as a forest caught the ear.
Kamket expressed deep concern about Mukutani being treated like a forest and said whoever did that was a traitor. He promised that the community itself will handle the matter and there is no need to take the matter to higher authorities in Nairobi.
“Nairobi, this ain’t your business, we will take it, not you. There is no forest on the other side. There are no popular entries. This is a country where people live well.”.
Going deeper into the matter of Mukutani Forest, Kamket said they met with the former council commissioner and agreed that whoever decides to create an administrative office in the town, not forgetting the office of the chief and the mayor, he must leave far away. one kilometer from the city.
“Out of respect the government had no choice but to agree to the terms, because our friends from Baringo South have built in their town but no one stopped them. Then why stop me while i obeyed orders and kept my distance. Since we want to live in peace, you will allow me to build the office of the chief in Mukutani town.
Perhaps anticipating what would happen, Kamket said he wasn’t trying to offend anyone, saying, “Don’t say that Kamket is instigating people. I’m just saying it out of concern. ” that’s what happened in kapedo when we tried to do something there, which is still here in Tiaty. I recall the police always kept calling me, and if you want to call again, about this matter of Mukutani, i am ready and we don’t want the security team to get involved.
This news was not received well by the local leaders. Speaking to the media on the 23rd of October, a section of them said that Kamket’s divisive comments could lead to further communal conflicts in the area.
“We want Kamket behind bars. He is a promoter of war,”
He isn’t above the law? We want to tell Kenyans that there is only one person who is doing evil and he is covering himself behind the word forest. “If he has a problem with the forest he should come clear, otherwise it has nothing to do with Tiaty. One stated”
Another concerned person asked the national government to make Ilchamos a constituency and handle their grievances in the National Assembly. Further he accused Kamket of using thiefs to get people to comply to his terms.
NCIC, DCI and civil rights groups should be involved. As leaders, we have decided that others cannot come to dictate us on how to do our projects. One said that the people of the community agreed to build the Mukutani forest and it has been beneficial.
According to him, Kamket has started building the office as promised in his speech and Baringo South leaders believe this is a strategy to intimidate them, and remember that this is not his first time to use unacceptable language instigating division among the Pokot, Tugen and Ilchamos people.
“We call on all the authorities to take the necessary steps and ensure that Kamket is prosecuted in court for hate speech because this time he has gone over board, “We’re really hurting. “
