The management of a renowned luxury hotel in Mombasa revealed that Daadab Member of Parliament Farah Maalim was asked to leave the establishment following an uproar on social media.
According to the Managing Director, the MP was no longer staying at the hotel as of Friday evening July 12.
The MD added that the hotel did not condone the remarks made by the MP who is facing investigations for hate speech.
In response to questions raised by Kenyans over hosting the MP, the hotel added that they could not associate with an individual who makes inflammatory comments.
"He is no longer a guest at our hotel. We asked him to leave the hotel earlier in the day.
"We do not in any way condone his inflammatory and threatening statements against Kenyans and will not associate our brand with such a person," read the statement in part.
Consequently, after the MD made the statements on X (formerly Twitter), the hotel also reposted the statements on their official X handle.
Maalim is currently under investigation by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) following a video that emerged on social media after the Gen Z protests.
However, the MP has distanced himself from the video claiming that it was edited.
"It's all editing, cutting and pasting, taking a word from here, another one from here and putting it together. There is a lot of nonsense there.
"It's Somalis basically who would do that because I weighed in on their politics. It's not the true picture," he responded after being asked about the video in an interview on KTN News.
Meanwhile, the MP is expected to appear before NCIC for interrogation, He is accused of hate speech and being discriminatory.
