According to him, trying to create hostility between communities, especially Bantus and Nilotes, is backward and irresponsible leadership.
He emphasized that Kenya’s strength lies in peaceful coexistence among its diverse communities.
Salasya pointed out that across the country, people from different tribes live side by side, do business together, and form families through marriage.
He noted that outside the Mt. Kenya region, communities coexist peacefully with Kikuyu families, sharing opportunities and everyday life without conflict.
“The idea that there is a crisis between communities is false,” Salasya argued. “The only crisis is the one some politicians are trying to create for cheap relevance.”
He accused such leaders of poisoning national discourse with fear and tribal slogans instead of offering solutions to real problems affecting citizens.
Salasya also dismissed the continued use of ethnic slogans and chest-thumping, saying this style of politics is outdated.
He argued that Kenya does not need Mt. Kenya-centered politics imposed on the rest of the country.
In his view, most Kenyans are focused on improving their lives and have rejected narratives built on fear and division.
In a direct message to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Salasya openly rejected and opposed what he described as tribal-driven politics.
He said Kenya is moving into a modern era where tribal identity is slowly losing its grip, especially among young people.
What citizens want, he added, is a nation united by ideas, justice, development, and shared values, not endless ethnic mobilization.
The MP further linked the resistance facing President William Ruto to what he called a divisive political foundation. According to Salasya, politics built on division instead of vision will always face opposition.
He stressed that young Kenyans are no longer willing to be used as tools in ethnic battles meant to benefit a few politicians.
