The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has declared that it will take action against remarks allegedly made by Majority Leader in the National Assembly Aden Duale.
NCIC Chairman Francis Ole Kaparo on Friday stated that the Commission would probe the clip supposedly capturing Duale calling for the eviction of Kamba voters from Garissa Town.
This followed public outcry sparked by the audio clip in which a voice claimed to be the Majority Leader's is heard urging certain people not be allowed to vote in the region which he represents.
After the clip was shared on social media, Kenyans under the hashtag #ArrestDuale, demanded the lawmaker's apprehension and prosecution for the alleged hate speech.
In the clip, the speaker vows not to permit outsiders to interfere with the politics of the region amid cheers and claps from the audience.

In response to the recording that angered many, Mr Duale rubbished it stating that it was mere propaganda being spread by his political rivals.
"An audio clip in circulation online is fake & crude propaganda. It's the work of a bygone era politician attempting to cook fake news," Duale said.
The legislator added that: "I have never called for violence against anyone but instead in all my gatherings I have been calling for peaceful coexistence among residents. The clip is just but a propaganda to taint my image."
