Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has failed to honour summons by the National Integration and Cohesion Commission (NCIC), a House team has been told.
This comes as the NCIC seeks a Sh600 million budgetary increase to monitor and curb hate speech across social media ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Documents tabled before a House team revealed that Gachagua was among six individuals, including Starehe MP Amos Mwago and Webuye West MP Dan Wanyama, accused of hate speech and summoned to appear before the commission since January 2025.
Calvince Okoth, alias Gaucho, has also been accused of hate speech and ethnic discrimination but has yet to appear before the cohesion team.
