Kaluma to NCIC: Give me the correct transcript before I appear
Kaluma, who sits in the Speaker’s panel in the National Assembly, said he would be unable to honour the summons on the scheduled date because of what he described as unavoidable State duties.
Nairobi, Kenya - On August 18, Homa Bay Town MP George Kaluma challenged a summons issued by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) demanding his presence for questioning. Kaluma disputed the transcription and translation of remarks attributed to him, requesting the commission provide the accurate version before responding.
The summons, issued on August 17, cited remarks Kaluma allegedly made in Homa Bay on August 15, just before a political rally that turned violent. The NCIC is investigating claims that Kaluma warned against using the phrase "one-term" and threatened action against hotels hosting individuals associated with that political group. Kaluma, a member of the Speaker's panel in the National Assembly, claimed he could not attend on the scheduled date due to "unavoidable State duties."
He insisted on appearing after August 27 and emphasized the need for a full, accurate context in any investigation of his remarks.
