In a strongly worded statement, Amisi said he had warned DCP supporters that Kenyan politics cannot be sustained on constant tribal rhetoric, arguing that such an approach would eventually alienate the wider electorate.
“I told DCP supporters to teach Gachagua some political manners and they thought I was insane. I know too much Kenya politics,” Amisi said.
According to the outspoken legislator, Gachagua’s frequent remarks framed around ethnicity are politically dangerous and unsustainable in a country as diverse as Kenya. He cautioned that ranting about tribal issues from morning to evening while expecting national support is a grave miscalculation.
Amisi also drew parallels with ODM’s internal strategy, revealing that he had similarly advised the party to protect and preserve the legacy of Raila Odinga if it hopes to retain its traditional support base.
“I told ODM to preserve the legacy of Baba if they want to keep the ground. Now see,” he remarked, suggesting that parties which ignore political wisdom often pay a heavy price.
In what appeared to be a warning to Gachagua and his allies, Amisi framed the unfolding political events as a lesson in humility and strategy, insisting that political downfall often comes from arrogance and disregard for national sentiment.
“As you fall, we shall conquer so that you learn from us,” he added.
His remarks have sparked debate online, with some Kenyans praising his blunt honesty while others accuse him of political grandstanding. Nevertheless, the comments highlight the growing unease around tribal politics as the country slowly edges toward the 2027 general elections.
