Kapseret lawmaker Oscar Sudi was on Thursday grilled by officers from the National Cohesion and Integration Commission after his recent remarks.
Speaking two weeks ago, an agitated Sudi made remarks which the commission consider hate speech against one community of Kenya.
He was on Thursday grilled over the same and later acquitted with a warning, after the commission found him guilty of breaching section 52 of its act in the constitution.
Confirming the same, NCIC Chief Executive Officer Hassan Mohammed said that Sudi was found guilty of 'crossing the red line' with regards to the remarks.
He said that Sudi was given a 'yellow card' for the same, meaning that he was issued with a last warning after apologizing for the harm he might have caused.
"He has owned up to the statements and apologised and that has consequently been tweeting the apology for the same," Mohammed told the Nation.
In his defence, Sudi said that he was not referring to a specific community, but rather Siaya Senator James Orengo whom he has not been in good terms with.
“Sometimes as politicians, we tend to be carried away by our utterances and realise later on that we erred in our speeches,” the parliamentarian said.
The remarks were made shortly after Orengo threatened to rsble an imeachement motion against Deputy President William Ruto whose ally Sudi is.
