In a move aimed at naming and shaming hate-mongers, the National Cohesion and Integration Commission says it will monitor and periodically release lists of political leaders engaging in hate speech and divisive rhetoric.
The commission, through its chairperson, warned political leaders, the media and the public that it will invoke its mandate against those spreading hate speech. As Laura Otieno reports, Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen has also reaffirmed the government’s commitment to tackling perpetrators of violence, particularly at political events.
