Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has sparked controversy after calling on Tanzania's President Samia Suluhu to take decisive action against Kenyan activists who wade into Tanzania, whom he accuses of destabilising East Africa.
Speaking during the Senate proceedings on Wednesday, President William Ruto's allied Senator praised Suluhu for calling out activists who allegedly sought to disrupt Tanzania's peace, stating that they should have been detained and prosecuted.
He argued that these individuals have introduced a culture of disrespect toward leadership, undermining governance in Kenya and beyond. "Tanzania is a very peaceful country, and what President Suluhu hasn't said outright is that we must respect our nations.
There is mutual respect, and activists running around East Africa meddling in internal affairs must be stopped," Cherargei alleged.
