Sunday, January 12, 2025 – Dadaab MP Farah Maalim is now under pressure to resign after his inflammatory remarks towards Kenyans while accompanying President William Ruto in North Rift.
In one of the president's
stopovers, Maalim was accorded a chance to address the gathering, to which he
insulted Kenyans with unprintable adjectives while defending the president against
critics.
The MP basically declared that
Ruto would not leave the presidency soon, as demanded by the naysayers of his
administration.
His inflammatory remarks sparked outrage among Kenyans online; the majority criticized the lawmaker, with some associating his character with sympathizers of the Somalia-based al-Shabaab insurgent group.
In a statement, Wiper
leader Kalonzo Musyok hinted at the party's plans to expel Maalim from the
party.
Kalonzo asked Maalim to consider
resigning from the party, and not wait to be expelled.
"I condemn Farah
Maalim's remarks in the strongest terms possible. Today's outrageous
utterances I will advice him to resign and not wait to be thrown out. His
actions were shameful," said Kalonzo.
This is not the first time Maalim is finding himself in trouble.
In July 2024, he was summoned by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) after his controversial remarks on the anti-government protests, where he alleged that if he were the president, he would have killed 5,000 Gen Zs daily.
