In a social media post that went viral, vocal critic Hon. Caleb Amisi warned that the continued regional preference would lead to tribal-political conflicts prior to the general elections in 2027, and that if violence breaks out, the Former Deputy President might face charges from the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The Former Deputy Presidency, a position meant to symbolize and foster national cohesion, is allegedly promoting narratives that give priority to some regionsâparticularly Central Kenyaâwhile disregarding others.
Amisi emphasizes the importance of the deputy president’s function in the administration, particularly in terms of filling in for the president when he is not there. Instead of pursuing projects that can sow discord, he exhorts the former deputy president to concentrate on bringing the nation’s many ethnic groups together.
Amisi’s appeal for a national awakening highlights the necessity of persistent efforts to foster unity across all regionsânot just those chosen for political reasons. The former deputy president is under increasing pressure to maintain Kenya’s stability and reconcile ethnic divisions as the 2027 elections draw near.
