The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has placed several high-profile political leaders under investigation following their recent public utterances.
The oversight body is examining the remarks to determine whether they border on hate speech or ethnic incitement.
Among the prominent figures facing scrutiny is Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, alongside Cabinet Secretaries Aden Duale of Health and Geoffrey Ruku of Public Service.
The inquiries target key personalities across executive and legislative arms of government.
County administration leadership is also affected, with Busia Governor Paul Otuoma and Mandera Deputy Governor Ali Maalim Mohamud listed under the ongoing probe.
In the legislature, several lawmakers are being monitored, including Sirisia Member of Parliament John Waluke, Kipipiri Member of Parliament Wanjiku Muhia, and Nakuru Town East Member of Parliament David Gikaria.
The NCIC is actively evaluating public speeches and declarations across the political spectrum to establish if the language used threatens national unity or violates statutory provisions against incitement.
The probe reflects growing official vigilance over public communications by state officers and elected representatives.
As the process continues, the commission aims to enforce legal boundaries regarding political discourse, ensuring that public statements adhere to standards that preserve peace and social harmony.
