Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya must fulfill stringent conditions before his hate speech case can be withdrawn, a Nairobi court ruled on Monday.

Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate Paul Mutai declined to terminate the case against the legislator, instead ordering him to issue a public apology and participate in a social media peace campaign through his platforms within 14 days.
