Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has been arrested over hate remarks.
The controversial Jubilee legislator was apprehended on Monday afternoon and detained at Pangani Police Station, where he had been locked up sometime last year.
Reports indicate that the lawmaker was later taken for questioning at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters along Kiambu road in Nairobi.
Earlier on, National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) chairman Francis Ole Kaparo stated that he was investigating the Gatundu South MP and 277 other individuals for incitement and hate speech.
Mr Kaparo affirmed that if found culpable, Kuria would be prosecuted as directed in the NCIC Act.
Kuria has over the past week attacked both the NASA leader and his supporters through remarks he has expressed while campaigning for President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election.
He began his onslaught with a Facebook post which referred to the NASA leader as a "demon".
