The Ford People leader said: "Tribalism will not die in this country and the whole world soon. I'm not propagating tribalism but you cannot kill tribes. They are here to stay."
He however urged communities to positively use their tribes in uniting all Kenyans.
Speaking at Gusii Institute of Technology during the launch of Abagusii Cultural and Development Council, the Nyaribari Chache MP said uniting the Kisii community for a common cause was not propagating tribalism.
He hailed the formation of the council and asked the elders and members not to politicise it. "Keep us (politicians) off your organisation if you want to succeed," said the Roads minister.
He asked the clergy to bar politicians from taking over funeral ceremonies. "It is very sad that we are allowed to politic at funerals. Pastors should not allow politicking at funerals. Because of politicking, I fear going to funerals," he added.
He was accompanied by Planning minister Henry Obwocha, assistant minister for Sports Joel Onyancha, MPs Mwancha Okioma, Godfrey Masanya, Zebedeo Opore, Jimmy Angwenyi, Stephen Manoti and Hezron Manduku.
Mr Nyachae hinted that his days in politics were numbered. "I have been at the top and I am now coming down. When the right time comes, I will retire from politics," he said.
