Turkana Woman Rep Cecilia Ishuu has condemned the rising wave of political mudslinging and character assassination, warning that growing toxicity in political discourse threatens development and national cohesion. She singled out former Turkana County Assembly Speaker Christopher Nakuleu over what she termed divisive and disrespectful language in political discussions.
Addressing a rally in Kachoda village, Turkana North, she condemned what she described as vulgar and offensive remarks allegedly directed at her. She said, as an elected leader, she deserves the same respect accorded to all public officials, regardless of political differences.
The lawmaker was responding to an alleged social media post by Nakuleu in which he reportedly urged residents of Turkana North to marry from within the region and avoid women from other areas. Ishuu said she believed the remarks were indirectly aimed at her because she is married to a prominent businessman from Turkana North.
