Nandi senator Samson Cherargei has warned Kenyan activists to desist from what he has termed as exporting bad manners to neighbouring nations.

In a statement on his X on Monday, November 10, 2025, Cherargei urged the president of the neighbouring countries to mete out punishment on such busybody individuals and repatriate them.

According to the senator, most of them risked destabilising the stability and tranquillity of the nation they visited by interfering with the internal politics of such countries.

“The Kenyan activists who export ‘bad manners’ ‘of interfering with the local politics to our neighbouring countries must stop immediately.

“In the spirit of the East Africa Community (EAC), our citizens are happily interacting through education, business, marriage, and work, but there is no agreement on political federation,” his statement concluded.

The senator, while encouraging a zero-tolerance approach for the acts, implored the heads of state of the neighbouring nations to deal ruthlessly with such activists.

“I want to urge Presidents Suluhu and Museveni, if you get any busybody activists who want to interfere with the peace of your country. Deal with them accordingly and return them home,” he posited.

Experts in riots

His remarks come after President Yoweri Museveni admitted to the arrest and detention of two Kenyan activists, Nelson Oyoo and Bob Njagi, who have been missing for a period of 38 days.

Speaking on Sunday, November 9, 2025, Museveni said his government arrested the activist working in cahoots with the opposition National Unity Platform leader, Bobi Wine.

According to him, the two Kenyans were experts in riots and were planning to promote riots in the country ahead of the upcoming elections in the east African country.

“Here, we have got very good intelligence. Like, for instance, the two Kenyans whom we arrested – they were working with Kyagulanyi’s group. We monitored them and found out they were experts in riots,” he said.
