Kenyan MP Challenges NCIC Over Gachagua's Unarrested 2007 Remarks

Kenyan Parliamentarian Questions NCIC Inaction on Gachagua's 2007 Remarks The Kenyan Parliament witnessed a heated exchange on May 27, 2025, when Gladys Shollei, a vocal MP, publicly questioned the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) about their failure to arrest Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over alleged inflammatory remarks made in 2007. The incident highlights growing concerns about double standards in the application of the law within Kenya's political landscape. "Why has Gachagua not been arrested?" Shollei demanded, referencing similar cases where others faced swift action for similar offenses. She pointed to the arrest of other individuals for less serious offenses, suggesting a lack of consistency in how the NCIC handles such matters. Shollei's impassioned speech underscores the ongoing debate about political accountability and the need for fair and impartial application of the law. Her direct challenge to the NCIC has ignited a public conversation about the role of the commission in maintaining national cohesion and ensuring justice for all Kenyans. The NCIC has yet to respond publicly to Shollei's accusations. This situation continues to unfold and warrants further investigation into the NCIC’s procedures and decision-making processes.
