According to NCIC, Gakuya’s sentiments are likely to incite feelings of contempt, hatred, hostility, violence, or discrimination and affect harmonious coexistence between different Ethnic groups in Kenya which is contrary to Section 62(1) (a) of the National Cohesion and Integration Act.
The Embakasi North MP while speaking at a past event claimed that the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) was being handed over to Somalis.
Gakuya warned the Kikuyu against selling their properties in Nairobi CBD to Somalis saying they would take over the entire city from the Kikuyus.
"If you look at Nairobi CBD we have handed it over to Somalis, what I can tell the Kikuyus is that giving out properties that are in Nairobi CBD to those foreigners just because they are the highest bidders with pirate money they get from the ocean and using it buy our properties in Nairobi, they will take Nairobi from us.
“They have taken over Eastleigh and are now targeting Nairobi CBD and we were the owners of those apartments,” said Gakuya.
