Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya could face a court trial over hate speech remarks made on his X account.
While referring Salasya’s hate speech case to the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), Senior Magistrate Paul Mutai warned that the MP risked going through a full trial if enough progress was not made in the matter.
Following the charge sheet, the MP intentionally published the words on his X handle, knowing that they were insulting, inciting, and calculated to stir up ethnic hatred between the two communities.
NCIC was assigned to evaluate and provide recommendations for the case against the vocal lawmaker.
