Dadaab<\/em> MP Farah Maalim has distanced himself from an undated viral video showing him making inflammatory statements discrediting the Kenyan Gen Z movement. The lawmaker claimed the video, recorded at a recent book launch event in Somalia, has been manipulated to distort his words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all editing, cutting and pasting, and putting words together. It’s basically a lot of nonsense,” Maalim stated, suggesting that Somalis might have altered the video for political reasons related to his commentary on Somalia\u2019s politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the video, a man purported to be Maalim is heard advocating for strong-arm tactics against 5,000 Gen Z protesters daily during demonstrations, allegedly to prevent an attempt to overthrow the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat 5,000 figure was in line with what I said about the serious slaughter that happens whenever there is an attempt at a revolution to try to forcefully take over the government,\u201d Maalim clarified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appearing on KTN News on Tuesday morning, Maalim insisted the video did not accurately represent the substance of his speech at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video, which has sparked public outrage, follows Maalim’s ongoing criticism of the methods used by younger Kenyans to pressure the government for better governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you occupy Statehouse and Parliament, two constitutional institutions that are a bedrock for the stability of the country and our democracy, that is a coup,\u201d Maalim remarked, referring to the June 25 invasion of Parliament Buildings by protesters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
