NAIROBI, Kenya Jan 7 – Opposition leader Kalonzo Musyoka has defended former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over his controversial remarks touching on the Somali community, saying the focus should remain on fighting economic crime without turning the issue into ethnic profiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on Wednesday at the burial of MP Wanjiku Muhia\u2019s father in Kipipiri, Kalonzo said Gachagua\u2019s comments had been misunderstood and should not be used to stigmatize an entire community, even as investigations into alleged financial crimes continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kalonzo said Kenya must confront corruption and the misuse of public or stolen funds head-on, but warned against dragging innocent citizens into accusations simply because of their ethnicity or business background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want criminals exposed, but Somalis and every other Kenyan who is not a criminal should not be attacked or feared,\u201d Kalonzo said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are together as Kenyans, and we are working for real unity in this country, not unity built on blame and suspicion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– BBS mall Vs Gachagua –<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

His remarks come as lawyers acting for the owners of the Business Bay Square (BBS Mall) in Eastleigh filed a complaint<\/a> with the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), accusing Gachagua of linking the Somali community and specific businesses to a fraud scandal in Minnesota, United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without directly dismissing the need for investigations, Kalonzo said crime must be handled through the law and evidence, not public accusations that risk inflaming ethnic tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery country follows its national interest, and if money was stolen anywhere in the world, investigations must follow the law,\u201d he said. \u201cBut that does not mean you condemn a whole community. You follow the truth, not tribes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kalonzo said Kenya\u2019s diversity must never be weaponised for political gain, warning that careless statements by leaders can damage businesses, livelihoods and national cohesion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen leaders speak, their words carry weight,\u201d he said. \u201cThat is why we must be responsible. You cannot destroy the reputation of hardworking Kenyans who have built this country just to score political points.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NCIC has yet to publicly respond to the complaint related to the Gachagua’s remarks and the subsequent complaint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
