On his tour, Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka addressed residents in Makima, Kiritiri in Mbeere South and later Embu County Assembly in Embu town where he condemned political intolerance witnessed in Kondele, Kisumu on Wednesday.

The Wiper party head called for Kenyans to consider giving a chance and listening to politicians' ideologies, saying chaos will only tamper with the peace of the nation.

He was accompanied by several Wiper party MCAs.

He called on the government to investigate and arrest those who were involved during the incident.
