Soy MP Caleb Kositany has urged the police to do a thorough
investigation into the incident where ODM leader Raila Odinga was stoned and
bring to book those who were involved.
Speaking after recording his statement over the incident on
Sunday, the MP also castigated President Uhuru Kenyatta for what he called
sensationalizing the issue.
He said the president should rise beyond petty politics and
act as a uniting factor.
"I want to tell the president that we all voted for him
and he has the mandate to protect all of us, so he should rise from the petty
politics and be the president that we voted for. The statement he has made
today (Sunday) is unfortunate for those of us who voted for him and we want to
tell him that he can do better than that," he said.
Kositany has also urged the police to treat all the
incidences that occur during the elections with the same seriousness.
Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi, Kositany and Uasin Gishu County
Assembly Speaker David Kiplagat recorded statements at the Nakuru DCI
Headquarters over the stoning of Odinga's helicopter.
The three spent the better part of Sunday at the DCI offices
in Nakuru where they were grilled for their alleged involvement in the incident
which has been termed as a threat to the former premiere's life.
Addressing the press after recording the statements, Sudi
denied any involvement in the incident, saying he can never be involved in the
planning of such a primitive thing like the stoning of the former Prime
Minister.
He also questioned why the DCI had to summon them to Nakuru
whereas they could have recorded their statements in Eldoret or any other place
nearer.
"It is unfathomable to even imagine that me Oscar Sudi
can be involved in planning such a barbaric act. I want to tell the public that
this is just politics and they should remain peaceful and let the police do
their job," Sudi said.
"My other appeal to the DCI is not to misuse public
resources, because we have a police station in Eldoret, Langas, Burnt Forest
and even Kapsaret where we could have answered the same questions that they
have asked us here in Nakuru. Although they're doing their job, they should
consider such issues."
The three have also left their mobile phones with DCI so
that they can undergo a forensic audit.
