The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has clarified its use of conciliation in cases involving Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma and Busia Governor Paul Otuoma, stating it does not sanitize or excuse their remarks.

• NCIC investigations found Kaluma's remarks to be "intemperate, ambiguous and dangerous," posing a risk of political intimidation.
• Otuoma's statements were deemed "threatening and exclusionary," likely to incite hostility against perceived outsiders.
• Both leaders received immediate cessation notices and directives for corrective measures as per the National Cohesion and Integration Act.
