A Kenyan magistrate's court has referred the hate speech case against Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya to the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) for review. This follows a request from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to allow the NCIC to assess the matter before further proceedings.

• The case involves alleged incitement of the public through inflammatory social media remarks targeting a specific community.
• The State Prosecutor Virginia Kariuki clarified that the NCIC's role is advisory, not judicial, evaluating the case and advising the DPP.
• The court, presided over by Senior Resident Magistrate Paul Mutai, has set the next mention for November 11, 2025, to receive an update on the NCIC's findings.
