Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria and his Kabete counterpart Ferdinand Waititu were on Monday acquitted of hate speech charges.
Kuria was taken to court last year after allegedly calling for the assassination of CORD leader Raila Odinga while Waititu was accused of making statements that could propagate violence in the country.
However, after the two were set free, Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko moved to court and appealed the decision.
