Governor Sang hits out NCIC for mapping Nandi among political hot-spots counties ahead of 2022 polls.

Nandi County governor Stephen Sang has warned National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) against profiling the region as volatile zone ahead of polls.

He deffered with report and termed to be misinforming and not credible since the region has been experiencing political tolerance and tranquility.

Addressing the residents during a thanks giving ceremony at Kobujoi market, Aldai Subcounty, the county CEO said that the NCIC claims tend to instill fear now that the political tension is high across the country.

“There are chances that the clashes would arise before and after election in Nandi as far as I’m concern, and the NCIC allegations should be ignored. As the county leadership we have been preaching peace and coexistence among the local ethnic groups,” he stated.

The county boss’s remarks came shortly after the NCIC released the national reported where Nandi is mentioned as one of the potentially chaotic zones.

Other regions include Uasin Gishu, Elgeiyo Marakwet, Nakuru, Kericho and Nairobi.

They cautioned on the eruption of political clashes in the cosmopolitan areas and thus urged government to beef up security to avert election eventualities in August.

“The independent institutions and administration should not be used to choreograph chaos and threaten security in the county. NCIC should proactively take action to enhance peace than just profiling as danger zones,” said Sang.

He, however, urged President Uhuru Kenyatta not to meddle with the 2022 election rather allowing the citizens to exercise their democratic role in electing leaders of their choice.
