Emurua Dikirr MP David Keter has called on Kenyans to maintain peace and respect differing opinions following the chaos that disrupted the closing ceremony of the Maa Cultural and Tourism Festival.Speaking during an event on Sunday, November 15, Keter said the incident should remind Kenyans of the importance of tolerance as the country approaches the 2027 General Election.

The legislator urged leaders and members of the public to avoid confrontations and allow individuals to express their views without intimidation or violence.

He observed that political differences should not undermine community unity, noting that Kenyans remain connected despite holding varying opinions.

Keter called for dialogue to resolve disagreements, urging people to show respect rather than resorting to hostility.

“Following the chaos witnessed yesterday during the closing ceremony of the Maa Cultural Week, I call on everyone to embrace peace, respect one another and allow room for freedom of expression,” he said.

He added that everyone should be allowed to express themselves freely and peacefully.

The MP emphasised that cultural gatherings should provide opportunities for communities to celebrate their heritage and strengthen their bonds instead of becoming platforms for division.

The Maa Cultural and Tourism Festival was disrupted on Saturday after rival group clashed at Sekenani Gate.Reports indicated that more than 10 people were injured, while the confrontation briefly interrupted activities before calm was restored.

Keter’s message adds to calls for restraint following the incident. President William Ruto also urged political rivals to compete through ideas rather than violence.
