DPP: Prosecution of leaders on banned words will not be easy

It will take more than uttering the words banned by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) to face prosecution, Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Noordin Haji has said.

Following the ban of words like sipangwingwi, kama noma, noma and kama mbaya, mbaya, the move was met with fury from many Kenyans who felt some words were taken out of context. However, NCIC Chairperson Samuel Kobia argued that the words have been used in contexts where they propel hate speech.
