The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has summoned and questioned about ten political leaders who have been accused of hate speech and incitement to violence.
The NCIC Chairperson Reverend (Dr.) Samuel Kobia says the commission has proposed possible preferred charges to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to go ahead with the court process.
The commission chair revealed that some of the political leaders include Kapseret Member of Parliament (MP) Oscar Kipchumba Sudi and his counterparts Farah Maalim (Daadab) and Daniel Sitati Wanyama (Webuye) and demanded for their immediate arraignment in court to face the charges.
He said the organization will not hesitate to recommend the prosecution of leaders irrespective of their political leanings as long as they are found culpable of propagate hate speech and incitement and other issues that undermine the security and stability of the country.
