Reconciliation efforts in the hate speech case against Mumias East MP Peter Salasya have collapsed, leading the Milimani Magistrate’s Court to schedule a full hearing. The failure stemmed from the expiry of the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) commissioners' term, rendering the body unable to mediate.

• The hearing for MP Peter Salasya's hate speech case is set for January 17, 2026.
• The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) could not facilitate reconciliation talks due to its mandate having lapsed.
• Senior Resident Magistrate Paul Mutai ruled that the case must proceed, emphasizing that justice cannot depend on an inactive institution.
