Ndindi Nyoro calls for action against security officials after Migori chaos against Orengo

MP Ndindi Nyoro has expressed outrage over the political violence that erupted in Migori on Saturday, August 28, 2026. He has called for accountability among security officials and urged Kenyans to reject ethnic politics. Nyoro made these remarks during a People's Tour in Nambale Town, Busia County, on Sunday, August 30, 2026. The violence occurred during political activities in Homa Bay and Migori, and Nyoro stated that such behavior should not be tolerated.

The incident followed Governor James Orengo's claims that his vehicle was attacked and set on fire in Awendo, Migori County, during his political activities on the same day. Orengo said he was fired upon with live bullets, but insisted that the incident would not deter his political activities. Nyoro questioned the performance of security officials responsible for protecting the nation, stating that those involved should take action against those responsible.

Nyoro urged Kenyans to reject political violence and emphasized that leaders should not allow political competition to escalate into violence. He called for unity among Kenyans, emphasizing that they are one people regardless of their ethnicity. Nyoro pointed to the presence of politicians from various regions at the Nambale event as evidence of political cooperation across ethnic communities.

He also urged Kenyans to embrace economic ties across counties, encouraging them to do business outside their home regions. Nyoro warned politicians against using ethnicity to divide Kenyans and urged them to promote cooperation instead. He criticized remarks attributed to a politician from Eldoret, accusing them of threatening Kenyans living in the area. Nyoro urged the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) to take action against leaders he said were promoting ethnic divisions.

Nyoro stressed that Kenyans living in different parts of the country should not be forced to leave due to their ethnic background. He emphasized that national unity should remain above political competition as parties and leaders prepare for the 2027 General Election. Nyoro reiterated the desire to stay united as one people, emphasizing that there are no barriers of ethnicity in Kenya.
