The warning was delivered in strong terms, with the speaker declaring that anyone who starts shouting “Wantam” in Bungoma should expect a fierce response.
“If I get you shouting Wantam here in Bungoma, you will see fire,” the politician is heard saying in the video.
The statement has attracted attention because Bungoma remains an important political battleground, with leaders from different camps seeking to strengthen their influence ahead of the next election.
John Waluke, who is associated with President William Ruto’s political camp, is the politician heard making the remarks.
His message has since generated reactions online, with Kenyans debating whether it was simply forceful political rhetoric or a warning aimed at rival supporters.
The incident comes as political movements increasingly take their campaigns and mobilisation efforts to different parts of the country.
Competing slogans have also become a visible feature of political gatherings, often reflecting deeper disagreements between rival camps.
As the video continues circulating, attention is now shifting to Bungoma and whether the remarks will trigger further political exchanges.
With the 2027 contest gradually taking shape, statements of this nature are likely to remain under close public scrutiny as politicians seek to consolidate support across the country.
