Nominated MP Joseph Wainaina has sparked outrage and calls for investigation following remarks made in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, urging those not supporting President William Ruto's re-election bid to leave the Rift Valley region.

• The remarks were made on Sunday at a church fundraising event.
• Calls have been made for the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) to summon and investigate the lawmaker.
• The controversy is significant given Mr. Wainaina's prior work in peace-building, having been displaced during past ethnic clashes.
