ODM’s Nairobi County branch chairman George Aladwa could face the long arm of the law after he made careless utterances that have been deemed as incitement to violence.
Aladwa was addressing Kibra youth on Mashujaa Day when he alluded that for Raila to be president in 2017, few people must die.
The former Nairobi mayor also cautioned Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria and Leader of Majority Aden Duale over linking Raila to Deputy President William Ruto’s ICC woes.
The utterances which were caught on video, led to the twitter topic ‘ArrestAladwa’, which was trending for the better part of yesterday.
Below is the video and some reactions from Kenyans on Twitter.
@MarthaKarua told us when you hear a dog bark look for its owner. Who owns Aladwa comments? #arrestaladwa
