The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has summoned Nairobi County Assembly Majority leader Peter Imwatok over alleged inciting remarks.
According to the commission’s CEO Skitter Ocharo, the Makongeni Ward Rep uttered the remarks during an opposition meeting held at Chungwa House on January 25.
“Azimio eee Azimio aaa, wamama tuungane tumalize kazi, wababa tuungane tumalize kazi, vijana tuungane tumalize kazi, Azimio eee Azimio aaa,” Imwatok is quoted.
“Lazima tumalize kazi ya ikulu na tunaongoja baada ya hapa Baba atwaambie kama ni hiyo Sunday tutoke uko Jacaranda , kama tanatembea Jogoo Road, tuingie town, tupande processional way, gate A.”

According to Mr Ocharo, the ODM-elected MCA’s utterances were calculated to be inciting, threatening, abusive and insulting contrary to Section 13(1) (a) of the National Cohesion and Integration Act.
Mr Imwatok is expected to appear before the commission on Tuesday.
“Take notice that you are hereby to appear before the National and Integration Committee at the offices at Britan Towers on February 7, at 11 am to assist the commission with aforementioned ongoing investigations,” reads in part the letter dated January 30.
The commission informed the legislator that failure to obey the summon is an offence as provided under Section 63(c) as read with Section 63 (e) of the National Cohesion and Integration Act.
