Mau Forest evictees have petitioned the Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji to initiate a charge against Narok Senator Ledama ole Kina.
The evictees argued that the legislator was quoted making inflammatory statements on various dates between June and August.
Through their lawyer Sigey Arap Bett, they argued that the particulars of the statements in question had been construed to infer to members of one-ethnic grouping in Maasai Mau forest.
"The senator on different occasions was heard saying that if the government fails to evict the people living in the Mau, ‘they’ will take the law upon their hands," Bett stated.
"This was in what appears to mean ethnic rhetoric calculated to ostracise members of a particular community," he added.
Bett argued that the constant threats made by the lawmaker had come to pass if the ethnic clashes in the Mau are anything to go by.
He maintained that if the DPP failed to arrest and prosecute Ledama and his co-perpetrators, they will petition the court to allow them to commence private prosecutions against the lawmaker.
On Monday, Ledama appeared before the Narok security committee and intelligence officers.
Senator Ledama recorded a statement over allegations he had incited the tribal clashes witnessed in the conflicting areas.
Ledama blamed a section of Rift Valley leaders who frequently visit the area for causing the violence witnessed.
