NCIC has failed to end hate speech

The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) was among key independent institutions created to protect the rights of Kenyans by the 2010 Constitution. NCIC’s main mandate is to deal with hate speech, a challenge Kenya has had to contend with for many years now.

However, the agency appears to have failed even as politicians continue to ruin the country with inflammatory statements. There are fears that this may worsen as we enter the electioneering year.
