“Enough Is Enough” Caleb Amisi Declares: This Is the Last Luhya Leader You Will Kill

Saboti Member of Parliament Hon. Caleb Amisi has made a chilling and emotionally charged statement following the death of veteran politician Cyrus Jirongo, declaring that Jirongo must be the last Luhya leader to be killed while the country moves on as if nothing happened.

Speaking in Kitale today after receiving the remains of the late politician, Amisi said Jirongo had paid the ultimate price, adding that such deaths have too often been met with silence and indifference. 

He insisted that the Luhya community can no longer afford to mourn its leaders quietly while justice is ignored.

“The killing of Cyrus Jirongo must mark the end,” Amisi said. “We cannot continue losing our leaders and then return to business as usual.”

The outspoken MP went on to claim that the Luhya community has historically been an easy target for political assassinations, arguing that this is because they are too nationalistic, while other communities rally fiercely around tribal interests. According to Amisi, this imbalance has left the Luhyas vulnerable and politically exposed.

“If we want to be taken seriously in this country, we must protect our own the way others do,” he warned, adding that unity is no longer optional.

Amisi further alleged that Jirongo’s death was politically motivated, suggesting that this is why the mere mention of a symbolic torch march has unsettled some quarters. In a defiant tone, he said the community would not be intimidated.

“We are coming with many torches with weak batteries ,” so that those responsible should follow him as soon possible, because we will not stop demanding answers.”

His remarks have since sparked intense debate, with many Kenyans calling for a thorough investigation into Jirongo’s death and renewed conversations about political safety, justice and ethnic unity in the country.
