For issuing what he described as an alarming and embarrassing threat aimed at former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Kirwa said he was shocked by Kindiki’s choice of words especially the phrase “nitakuvua nguo” noting that such language is unbecoming of a national leader and risks dragging Kenya into unnecessary hostilities.
According to Kirwa, when a top government official openly speaks in a way that implies public humiliation of another leader, it sends a worrying message to the country.
He warned that inflammatory remarks can easily heighten tensions among supporters, deepen political divisions, and set a dangerous tone ahead of the 2027 elections.
To him, this was not just loose talk it was a sign of rising aggression at the highest levels of power.
His concerns come at a time when the national atmosphere is already charged. Just days ago, Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya was violently attacked during a campaign event.
The governor’s camp has pointed fingers at National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, accusing him of engineering the chaos allegations that security agencies are now probing.
For Kirwa, this chain of events signals a worrying trend that could quickly spiral if leaders fail to tame their tongues.
Kirwa urged all political figures, regardless of party lines, to condemn threats, intimidation, and violence with one voice.
He insisted that political disputes should be handled through reasoning and national dialogue not through demeaning statements or orchestrated physical attacks.
He reminded leaders that their words shape the behavior of millions, and every reckless remark has real consequences on the ground.
He further called on security agencies to speed up investigations into Natembeya’s attack.
Stressing the need for truth, accountability, and justice to avoid the perception of politically motivated brutality.
According to him, Kenyans deserve leaders who model calmness and maturity, not individuals who ignite fights or deepen rivalry.
With the 2027 general election season approaching quickly, Kirwa warned that the rise in heated exchanges could damage Kenya’s stability, economy, and global image.
He emphasized that the nation’s democracy relies heavily on responsible leadership, and any hint of hostility from those at the top is enough to unsettle citizens and investors alike.
Kirwa’s intervention has amplified fears that Kenya may be edging toward a confrontational political period if leaders do not de-escalate the tension.
Many Kenyans online echoed his sentiments, urging leaders to focus on issues affecting the nation rather than trading insults in public.
