Farah Maalim Denies Calling For Death of Protesters, Skips NCIC Summon

Underfire Dadaab Member of Parliament Farah Maalim has skipped a summon by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC).

The MP was to be quizzed on his controversial comments on Generation Z protesters.

The controversial MP was summoned after he was filmed saying he would have killed 5,000 protesters if he was the president.

In a press conference, the embattled MP claimed that he had agreed with the commission that he would appear at a later date.

Maalim insisted that he never called for anyone to be killed.

“I never called for the death of any Kenyans. I didn’t and I will never call for it,” he said.

The MP said that he is a leader of integrity and can never damage a reputation he built for years.

“I am a very honest person for over 30 years of have been in the politics of this country. I am one person who has had a track record that is matched by very few people,” he added.

Last week, Farah Maalim was kicked out from Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort in Mombasa.

This is after the MP made an inflammatory statement that angered Kenyans.

Maalim had claimed that protesters had come from one community and if he was the president he would have used brutal force.

The MP further said he would go as far as killing 5000 protesters daily.

“God forbid if I was president I would have slaughtered them, 5,000 of them daily. Serious, there is no two ways about it,” said the Daadab MP.

The ejection of the MP from the hotel was confirmed by the hotel’s chief executive officer Jimi Kariuki.

Kariuki was responding to a concerned Kenyan who demanded an answer on why Maalim was at the hotel.
