Something unsettling is beginning to emerge as Kenya inches toward the 2027 General Elections, and former Attorney General Justin Muturi has now raised a warning that could leave many Kenyans deeply concerned.
His latest remarks touch on a painful chapter in the country’s history, raising questions about whether dangerous political rhetoric could once again spiral into something far more serious. As political competition intensifies, Muturi says the warning signs must not be ignored. Read Full Article Here
According to Muturi, no community should be collectively threatened or frightened into abandoning its constitutional right to participate in elections. He argues that political competition should never become a justification for ethnic hostility, intimidation or incitement.
The former Attorney General has gone further, calling for the immediate establishment of an International Criminal Court outreach office in Nairobi.
He argues that such a presence would serve as a preventive measure by strengthening early engagement, documenting warning signs and preserving credible evidence before a crisis escalates.
His greatest concern appears to be the progression from inflammatory political statements to organised mobilisation and, eventually, violence.
He wants accountability mechanisms to become visible before the country reaches a point where intervention comes too late.
Muturi has therefore issued a direct message to political leaders: ethnicity must not be weaponised, fear must not be manufactured, and political power must not be treated as protection from accountability.
With 2027 approaching, his remarks are likely to intensify debate over whether Kenya is adequately prepared to prevent a repeat of the darkest chapters of its electoral history.
