The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) is investigating 10 prominent individuals, including former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and two Cabinet Secretaries, for alleged hate speech and ethnic incitement.

• The investigation is prompted by growing concerns over rising political intolerance ahead of the 2027 General Election.
• Key figures under scrutiny include Cabinet Secretaries Aden Duale and Geoffrey Ruku.
• The NCIC, in partnership with the Inter-Religious Council of Kenya (IRCK), stated that no individual is above the law and investigations are conducted independently.
