The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has summoned Daadab Member of Parliament, Hon. Farah Maalim, to appear before the Commission this Thursday, July 11, 2024, at 11 a.m. at its offices on the 17th Floor, Britam Tower, Hospital Road, Upper Hill, Nairobi.
The NCIC has summoned Dadaab MP Farah Maalim to appear on Thursday regarding potentially inciting remarks he made in an undated video about the anti-Finance Bill protests.
Pursuant to Section 27 of the National Cohesion and Integration Act No. 12 of 2008, the Commission is investigating utterances made by the MP in Somali language on the Gen Z demonstrations against the Finance Bill 2024.
The utterances are likely to incite feelings of contempt, hatred, hostility, violence, or discrimination and affect harmonious coexistence between groups of different political affiliations in Kenya, contrary to Section 13(1)(a) of the NCI Act.
Hon. Farah Maalim is required to appear before the Commission to assist with the aforementioned ongoing investigations.
Failure to appear in person at the said place, date, and time is an offence as provided under Section 63(c) as read with Section 63(e) of the NCI Act.
