[00:00:08]Welcome again. Various leaders are now calling for UDA secretary general Hassan Omar to resign or be removed from his post due to his remarks targeting the Mount Kenya community. Speaking at a presidential event in Mombasa on Thursday, Omar criticized former presidents from the community, claiming they oppressed the coastal people and said they should be in prison and not in leadership.

[00:00:33]However, Omar has apologized, saying his remarks were not aimed at one community as alleged. Gatete Njoroge informs.

[00:00:41]Those who took our lands from Kwale.

[00:00:45]They grew up on farms all along the coast. I tell you to be ready to return the coconut. The coconut owners are now ready to come and grab them. As soon as he was given the microphone at the presidential land title deed ceremony in Mombasa, Hassan Omar began his attacks. Those puppets of the past and their children who oppressed us with the lost Muslims and the children who were arbitrarily killed. You are not the ones who should go to the State House. You and the others who were with you should go to the tea pit for the injustices they made. The statements that caused a lot of heat in the stomach. The leaders of the government criticized Omar and asked him to resign. If he continues to talk like that, we will remove him from that seat. Let him go, let him go, let him go, let him go.

[00:01:42]We cannot allow such actions from a leader who is going to lead us. We cannot allow that. I want to tell him that it is a no zone. We are behind the president of the Republic of Kenya. You are not the one getting elected. It is the president who is getting elected.

[00:02:03]We don't eat other people's food. We don't take anything that belongs to someone else. We work hard for ourselves and we don't want to hear anyone from other inside communities looking at us in a negative way.

[00:02:22]The opposition has said it will begin the process of taking legal action against Omar, including writing a letter to the International Criminal Court (ICC) regarding these parts.

[00:02:34]We must petition the ICC on official capacity to make sure that Han is held accountable of his actions. So it is not enough for the secretary general of UDA to apologize.

[00:02:54]His party leader must be held to account for those statements.

[00:02:59]Omar, through a press release, has apologized and said his remarks were not directed at any particular community.
