The online video showed the youths, identified as fans of the Mogadishu City club, trampling the Kenyan flag before kicking and mocked it at Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday, September 21.
The incident occurred shortly after the clash between Mogadishu CC and Kenya Police FC, a match for the Kenyan team to win a 3-1 victory.
What was supposed to be the proud time of continental football was quickly covered by a controversial act against the national emblem.
The spectacular festival sparked anger across the country, with Kenyans on social networks calling for the behavior and demanding that security officials be taken urgent.
Kalonzo condemns acts against the national flag
During an interview on Citizen television on Wednesday, September 24, Kalonzo did not complain, calling the behavior disgusting and unacceptable.
He praised the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kinja for addressing the issue, but emphasized that there was no need for a long -term investigation.
“What are you investigating? Just arrest those people and keep the headline. This is empty. He is there. He said.
Kalonzo linked the act with a great lack of respect for history and commitment to the Kenyan war of independence.
He recalled how Kisoi Munyao raised the Kenyan flag at the peak of Mount Kenya in 1963 to replace Union Jack, an act that remains a sign for several generations.
“Now, for many years, General Z remember that and they are very proud of our national flag. So, for anyone to do so, and by the way, the little I find very strange, is how the boy is trying to urinate, to do strange things. That is not acceptable,” He said.

Somali position in the East African Community

He pointed out that the East African song emphasizes solidarity with collective goals, which he said would be weakened by divisive actions as witnessed in Nairobi.
“Somalia is a member of the East African Community at the moment. We hope we will be able to incorporate the senses of the belt. You know, because the East African song is an amazing piece; to achieve our goals, our unity is permanent and permanent unity as the gospel is for such people who have seen it. We must condemn the act,” The former VP added.
Kalonzo called on the police to address the issue quickly, comparing the long -standing struggle such as the case of a British soldier linked to the murder of a Kenyan woman in Laikipia.
