Her statement focused on Gachagua's recent remarks, which she deemed inflammatory and comparable to previous offenses that led to the arrests of Oscar Sudi and Mithika Linturi. The speech highlighted concerns about a perceived double standard in the enforcement of the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) Act. "The same NCIC who arrested Oscar Sudi and Linturi should arrest Gachagua!" she stated, emphasizing her point with passionate gestures and a strong vocal delivery. Boss recalled past incidents, referencing the deployment of 300 police officers to arrest Oscar Sudi for comments deemed offensive. She questioned why a similar swift action hadn't been taken against Gachagua. The MP's remarks underscore the ongoing tensions within Kenyan politics and raise questions about the fairness and consistency of law enforcement. The video provides a compelling visual record of her statement, adding weight to the urgency of the situation.
