Eldas Member of Parliament Adan Keynan has raised concerns over the adverse effects of political violence on Kenya’s security landscape, tourism sector, and investment environment.
Speaking recently, MP Keynan called on Kenyans to firmly reject all forms of political violence and uphold the rule of law to protect the country’s stability and reputation.
He emphasized that ongoing insecurity is deterring investors and tourists, which in turn damages Kenya’s global image and economic prospects.
Keynan further urged authorities to ensure that those responsible for instigating or engaging in political violence are arrested and prosecuted, irrespective of their political or social status.
Key points from MP Keynan’s statement include:
- Political violence is a major threat to national security and economic growth.
- Insecurity discourages tourism and foreign investment.
- All perpetrators must face legal consequences without exception.
- Citizens should support peace and legal frameworks ahead of upcoming elections.
His remarks come amid heightened political tensions as Kenya prepares for the 2027 general elections, with calls from various leaders and organizations to promote peace and curb violence.
