Suna East Member of Parliament Junet Mohammed and former Embakasi South MP Irshad Sumra have broken the silence after they were summoned over alleged hate speech.
The two were on Wednesday summoned by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) for allegedly making inflammatory remarks in the Kibra campaigns.
However, they have denied being summoned, even as they confirmed visiting the NCIC offices, saying that they were honouring an invitation by Chief Inspector Johnson Kilua.
Through lawyer Otiende Amollo, the two said that they were furnished with samples of what they are accused of having said, and have taken copies for comparison.
This is even as they insisted on their innocence on claims of inciting residents.
"They (investigators) have shared their fashion of what they claimed was said in Kibra. We have taken them and we shall compare with what we have and see if it tallies with our fashion,” said the Rarieda MP as quoted by Standard.
They faulted the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Noordin Haji for directing them to appear before the NCIC and record statements, accusing him of making premature conclusions.
“By saying the utterances were inflammatory, DPP has prejudged and concluded even before an investigation is completed. It prejudices the entire inquiry and it means the inquiry is a waste of time,” he added.
They also faulted the police for summoning them in the absence of a complainant.
