Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho has put on notice politicians spreading hate speech through their political gatherings ahead of the 2017 general elections.
Speaking on Saturday in Maralal town in Samburu County during a consultation forum of the projects to be funded using equalization fund in 2016 /2017 financial year, Kibicho cautioned that those found to be committing the offence will face the full force of the law.
"There is no one who is above law in this country. If you commit an offense, the law will take its course," he said.
“We will close our ears because everyone has his/her own tribe from where he was born but we will not tolerate violence in the country because of nonsense,” he added.
The Interior ministry is set to partner with the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) to curb hate speech.
