The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has said it is investigating Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria and 277 other individuals for incitement and hate speech.
NCIC Chairman Francis ole Kaparo said that if Mr Kuria will be found culpable, the commission will recommend his prosecution as stipulated by the NCIC Act.
Last week, a video on social media showed Mr Kuria making vulgar utterances in Kikuyu against Nasa leader Raila Odinga.
“Moses Kuria spoke in his native language, which I do not understand. We have to translate whatever he said into a language that I can understand. We have already sent the clips to the investigators to find out whether or not a crime known to the law has been committed. Why do you want me to charge him without me knowing whether or not he has broken the law,” Mr Kaparo posed.
EVIDENCE
He said the commission will deal with individuals according to the law that has been broken, adding that evidences have to be gathered before someone is arrested and prosecuted.
Earlier, the chairman warned that anyone spreading hate speech on WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter would be arrested and charged.
