The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has summoned Busia Governor Paul Otuoma to appear before the commission on August 21, 2026, over remarks made during a rally in June. Otuoma is required to assist with investigations into allegations of inciting violence and hate speech. The commission quoted him as making disparaging comments about individuals accused of smuggling and causing problems for local residents in the local dialect.
The investigation falls under sections 27, 29, and 63C of the National Cohesion and Integration Act. NCIC warns that failure to appear could result in arrest warrants and criminal or contempt proceedings. Otuoma's summons comes amid NCIC's increased scrutiny of political language ahead of the 2027 General Election.
