Former MP records statement over his alleged remarks targeting non Pokot communities living in West Pokot

Former Kacheliba Member of Parliament Mark Lomunokol has defended remarks he made during a meeting in Sokaa, West Pokot County, which sparked controversy over alleged comments targeting non-Pokot communities.

Lomunokol, who is also the Sports Kenya Chairman, spoke after presenting himself at the County Criminal Investigations Office in Kapenguria, where he recorded a statement over the remarks.

The former MP dismissed the controversy as politically motivated, claiming that a video clip of his speech had been edited and circulated by his political opponents with malicious intent.

Lomunokol said his remarks had been taken out of context and urged investigative agencies to establish the full circumstances surrounding the video. He further accused his political opponents of using the matter to undermine his political ambitions ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The former MP also called on investigative agencies to remain impartial, warning against what he termed political interference in criminal investigations.
