National Super Alliance (NASA) strategist David Ndii on Sunday announced that he no longer wanted to be associated with his tribe by birth.
In a tweet posted on his official handle, a frustrated Ndii proceeded to inform his fellow tribesmen that he had chosen to be identified as a Jaluo.
He further expressed that he was fed up with numerous calls to "ethnic solidarity" and begged not to be bothered anymore.
Here is the tweet the economist shared.
Further explaining his statement to concerned followers, Ndii emphasised that the decision was part of the political philosophy he subscribes to.
"Languages are historical formations that imply nothing in regards to those who speak them.
"Nor should languages in any way shackle human liberty when it comes to determining the family with which one unites one's self in life and in death," read a book excerpt he plastered as a response.
The excerpt further read: "We must not abandon this fundamental principle: that man is a reasonable and moral being before he is penned up in this or that language, a member of this or that race, or a participant in this or that culture."
The controversial strategist, along with NASA CEO Norman Magaya, was recently accused by lawyer Miguna Miguna of working together with the Jubilee Party.
The claim was altogether dismissed by NASA leader Raila Odinga who advised Opposition supporters to ignore Miguna and his theories.
