Kalonzo’s Apology For His Tribal Remark

BY KALONZO MUSYOKA

I wish to clarify the following,
That this morning during a press
briefing in response to Jicho Pevu
and to the State of the Nation
address by the President a few
weeks ago, a journalist asked a
question without identifying
himself and/or the media house he works for.

I felt he had asked a misleading
question and my answer to him
was that his assumed political tilt
was evident and reflective of the
very polarised society that Kenya
has become.

I in no way intended to neither
demean the young man, nor do I
or would I harbour any animosity
toward him.
To the contrary, I have tirelessly
worked for cohesion in this country and in my lifetime supported many leaders from various communities
to include the Kalenjin, Luo,
Kikuyu, Coast and this is common
knowledge.

I did have tea with Mureithi and
duly apologised for any hurt my
remark would have caused, indeed
it was with a light touch but I wish
to apologize to him, the entire
journalistic fraternity and anybody
else who might feel the comments
were offensive.

I remain committed to a united
Kenya and a vibrant democracy.
