Homa Bay Town's MP, Peter Kaluma, has finally complied with a summons from the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) to address remarks attributed to him during political events in Homa Bay County. Kaluma, along with Busia Governor Paul Otuoma, appeared before the commission on August 31, 2026, to provide their perspectives on statements under investigation.
The commission had previously directed the duo to appear on August 19, following a rally the day before, where heightened concerns emerged over political rhetoric following a violent incident. The NCIC took note of their responses and is currently deliberating on the matter to determine the appropriate course of action. Kaluma initially requested a postponement due to perceived state obligations but later agreed to cooperate with the investigation.
The commission investigated certain remarks Kaluma made, including claims about a "one-term" campaign against President William Ruto and accusations against supporters of the opposing political side. Kaluma disputed some allegations, stating that his remarks were misconstrued. His appearance alongside Otuoma confirms the commission's ability to evaluate his explanations alongside the evidence it has collected, leading to a final decision on the matter.
