Babu Owino said leaders must be mindful of their words, especially when speaking in public forums where their statements can influence millions of people.
He stressed that national unity should always come first, and that political leaders have a duty to bring people together rather than divide them through harsh or emotional comments.
The group described the conduct as unethical, arguing that it goes against the principles of leadership and accountability.
They noted that Kenya has made progress in promoting peaceful engagement and respectful debate, and warned that careless speech could undo these gains.
Linda Mwananchi also called on leaders across the political divide to show maturity and restraint, particularly as the country moves closer to another election cycle.
They said political competition should be based on ideas, policies, and solutions to the challenges facing ordinary citizens, not personal attacks or public confrontations.
The group further urged institutions responsible for upholding leadership standards to take note of the growing trend of heated exchanges among politicians.
They said there is a need to reinforce ethical guidelines and ensure that all leaders, regardless of their position, are held accountable for their conduct.
At the same time, they encouraged Kenyans to demand better from their leaders by supporting those who promote respectful dialogue and constructive engagement.
According to the group, the future of the country depends on the tone set by its leadership, especially during times of political tension.
