Palaver

Palaver
Either these MPs don’t know what qualifies as hate speech or they simply do not take the matter seriously. The MPs from central Kenya now want the National Cohesion and Integration Commission chairperson Mzalendo Kibunjia to investigate Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo for hate speech after his claim that State House is sponsoring several parties to fragment the political field.

The last time Palaver checked hate speech as far as the NCIC’s mandate is concerned is defined as statements that might result in prejudicial treatment or action against a group of people based on their race, ethnicity, cultural practices and traditions, or gender among other things.
