Home Bay Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Kaluma has maintained his sustained criticism of the BBC documentary dubbed Blood Parliament, which showcased what transpired at the Hen-Z demonstrations last year.
Issuing a statement via his official X account on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, Kaluma who rebuked the documentary calling for sanctions on BBC over the damning exposé, continued slamming the global broadcaster, saying the timing of the disclosure is aimed at destabilizing the country.
The vocal legislator also told off the journalists terming them as reckless professionals who should not be allowed to use foreign media to destabilize the country.
“The Capitol Hill, the seat of Parliament in the United States was breached; and, BBC didn’t publish a documentary “Blood Parliament”. It is unfortunate BBC Africa has not been sanctioned, over 24 hours after publishing that distorted documentary “Blood Parliament”, which by its title, timing and twisted content, is clearly intended to distabilise Kenya,” the MP wrote.
“We shouldn’t allow reckless journalists to use foreign media to destabilise Kenya,” he added.
Recent criticism
Kaluma’s continued outburst over the disclosure follows after he called on the government to ban the media house from operating in Kenya.
In his argument which attracted sharp criticism, Kaluma noted that the documentary which exposed some Kenyan security forces shooting unarmed picketers, is a reckless move by the global media house.
He explained that the role played by the media in any democracy is too important to be discharged irresponsibly.
While referencing the 1994 Rwanda genocide, Kaluma pointed out that the deadly incident would not have occurred if the media had not been reckless.
“Lest we forget, the Rwandan genocide would not have occurred were it not for reckless media. “Blood Parliament” documentary by @BBCAfrica is twisted, partial, reckless and intended to incite chaos in Kenya. The relevant agencies of the Government of Kenya must act fast to withdraw the @BBCAfrica licence in Kenya,” Kaluma wrote on X.
