The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) is deeply concerned about escalating political tensions, rising hate speech, and inter-community conflicts, warning of potential widespread instability as Kenya approaches the 2027 General Election.

• The NCIC has been allocated only Sh711 million, significantly less than the Sh1.5 billion required for essential operations like early warning systems and community dialogue.
• NCIC Chief Executive Officer Daniel Mutegi highlighted the challenge of combating hate speech spread through social media without adequate modern monitoring tools.
• Despite the commission's warnings, Members of Parliament have questioned its effectiveness and threatened to withhold future funding if its performance does not improve.
