Dadaab Member of Parliament Farah Maalim has firmly denied allegations that he called for the “slaughtering of Gen Z” during the recent anti-tax protests. Facing significant backlash, Maalim dismissed the claims, asserting that they do not reflect his true stance.
“I never called for the death of any Kenyans. I didn’t, and I will never call for it,” he stated in a video posted on his X page.
Maalim emphasized his commitment to integrity, highlighting his long-standing reputation in Kenyan politics. “I am a very honest person with over 30 years in this country’s political landscape. My track record is unmatched by very few,” he said, reaffirming his dedication to serving the nation according to his conscience.
Reflecting on his political journey, Maalim recalled entering politics as an opposition MP in 1992 through Ford Kenya, at a time when the region predominantly supported KANU. “I have stuck by my principles and my philosophy, and that has never changed,” he noted.
Despite the controversy, Maalim expressed confidence in his continued popularity among constituents. “When it comes to votes, I will go back to my constituency. Everyone knows my standing on the ground. After 30 years, I am still elected, and I will continue to serve until I choose to retire,” he asserted.
The allegations gained traction following the circulation of a video in which Maalim allegedly suggested that if he were President, he would have “slaughtered 5,000” Gen Z protesters during a breach of Parliament Buildings. He countered these claims, stating that the video was edited and misrepresents his position.
