Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has urged Kenyans to avoid getting involved in political affairs of neighboring countries, warning that such actions may lead to undesirable consequences.
Speaking during the launch of the inaugural Software and Artificial Intelligence Summit at Moi University, Eldoret, Mudavadi cautioned that other countries do not enjoy the same level of freedom that Kenyans experience.
He discouraged Kenyans against travelling to nations without a clear understanding of their legal and constitutional frameworks.
“There is a growing tendency where Kenyans leave the country without appreciating the legal terrain of the places they are going to,” he said. “Many end up on the wrong side of the law. We emphasize that the freedom we are experiencing in this country is not the same as in other countries.”
The Prime Cabinet Secretary further implored the youth to use the social media platforms responsibly, stating that a number of foreign countries scrutinize online behavior before granting opportunities.
“There is now a tendency for social media checks before a visa is issued,” he said. “Those found with negative content on their social media handles might lose opportunities in other countries.”
“Enjoy the digital space, but do what is right and ethical. We want you to go far, not to be limited by mistakes made online,” he added.
Mudavadi’s remarks come days after Kenyan activists Nicholas Oyoo and Bob Njagi were released by Ugandan authorities, after spending 39 days in detention.
The duo was reportedly abducted on October 1, 2025, after attending Bobi Wine’s National Unity Platform campaign events in Uganda. Their disappearance ignited public outcry, prompting government’s intervention.
