Speaking during the official handing over of Njukiiri Primary School in Manyatta State, Nyoro humbly appealed to his fellow leaders, noting that leadership is a guarantee given by the people and must be handled carefully.
Ndindi Nyoro said about leaders who use abusive language
He stressed that Chapter 6 of the Constitution is not just an example but a guiding principle aimed at ensuring integrity and responsibility among all leaders, especially those who took the oath of leadership.
Nyoro warned against the use of offensive and inappropriate language in public discussions, saying some remarks are inappropriate even for children who are watching with their parents.
“We must be careful with what we say as leaders. We should not use language that cannot be heard well in every home,” Nyoro said on Friday, March 20.
He further urged leaders to reduce hostility in political dialogue, calling for stability, respect, and unity.
At the same time, Nyoro strongly condemned what he described as attempts to intimidate leaders and citizens through the use of government agencies.
What did Nyoro say about the government using the police to intimidate opponents
Referring to his recent visit to Kiharu State, he claimed there were efforts to prevent legitimate public participation by using the police.
“There is no leader to scare them in Kenya. Leadership is about service, not fear. The era of managing politics through the police and other government agencies is over,” he said.
He added that Kenyans should not live in fear, stressing that the current generation is strong and determined to defend rights and democratic opportunity.
“We cannot be shaken, we cannot be silenced, and we cannot be intimidated,” said the pro-Kiharu member of parliament.
Regarding development issues, Nyoro stressed that infrastructure—especially roads—is a basic right for all Kenyans and should not be turned into a financial burden.
He opposed proposals to introduce tolls on major roads such as Mombasa Road, Thika Road, and leading roads Nakurusaying that Kenyans have had free access to public roads since independence.
