NCIC hunting for war mongers

Politicians will be put on surveillance by National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) during the constitution-making debate.

NICI Director of Complaints and Legal Affairs Mr Kyalo Mwengi said the leaders should be sober on the report and should do their part without inciting their supporters.

Speaking in Nyeri and Murang’a during a meeting with members of the county assembly, Mr Mwengi has said the commission will embark on monitoring public rallies and social media platforms in effort to arrest the inciters.

The commission is holding countrywide sensitization forums with politicians and administrators educating them on threat of hate speech, ahead of the political rallies.

 This is after the release of Building Bridge Initiative report to the public.

“NCIC will work hand in hand with the police to arrest the warmongers, as negativity could influence Kenyans against each other,” he said. 

He added that various mechanisms will be employed to monitor and comprehend the trouble shooters.

 NCIC held the forum three weeks after two youth were killed at Kenol market, Maragua following confrontation between political groups ahead of Deputy President William Ruto visit  at AIPCA church.

Mwengi further called upon leaders to adhere to recent directives which were issued by the government to avoid chaos like the one which were witnessed in Kenol town three weeks ago.

“The guidelines which were issued by the National security advisory committee need to be adhered at by all leaders. Those with public rallies have to get permits from police and be provided with security officers to maintain order during the gathering,” Mwengi said, asking leaders to avoid holding rallies in areas where there is tension.

 The MCAs supported efforts made by the commission  to save the country from plunging into chaos ahead of 20222 general election.

Nominated MCA Stephen Habire   observed that young person should avoid being used by politicians to create mayhem and cause tensions.

“The young people should not be used to cause chaos which will only benefit specific politicians,” said Habire.
