Cord leaders yesterday put NCIC on the spot as it probes an incitement audio clip allegedly linked to National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale (pictured).
Cord Management Committee co-chairman Johnson Muthama accused the NCIC of bias and leniency when dealing with hate speech and incitement cases against Jubilee members.
Duale has been linked to an audio clip that went viral onThursday where the speaker incited Kenyan Somali youths against Kamba voters and Wiper supporters. Duale allegedly told youths to chase away and prevent Kambas from registering as voters in Garissa.
Duale dismissed the clip as “concocted propaganda.”
“If there are serious incitement and hate speech issues, it has come from the Jubilee leadership, starting from the top leadership to the last person. But no action has been taken,” Muthama said.
He said Cord takes utterances in the clip “seriously”. Muthama urged the NCIC to”move swiftly to have Duale arraigned in court immediately.”
NCIC chairman Francis Ole Kaparo confirmed to Star that officers will investigate. “I was informed last night [Thursday]. I have not listened to the clip, but definitely it has to be investigated. We must get the clip give it to responsible officers and investigations begin,” Kaparo said. Muthama questioned why President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto have remained quiet on Duale’s alleged remarks. “That is a very clear confirmation he is representing Jubilee,” he said.
