The National Commission and Integration Commission is looking into all these hate cases, not only for the UDA secretary general Hassan Omar, but others too.

At NCIC, we have a department that starts the investigation and then they gives us a report.

Any responsible leader would want to get facts, so that when we speak, we speak factually.

You see, we are not politicians, we are arbiters and we try to bring all these political actors together.

Where there is the element of hate speech, ethnic discrimination, we use our internal processes, which we are actually studying at the moment.

When such cases come, how do we handle them so that we don't find ourselves again behaving like politicians? So we are waiting for the investigation team to do their work.

They will give us the findings and the reports.

We also have the legal department that gives us advisory.

Anyone found culpable must face the full force of the law. There is no sacred cow.I made it very clear yesterday, the message is very clear that we are going to rein in but for now let them give us time.

Remember we have about 50 cases and even those who are pointing fingers at the latest personalities have also their own issues.

We have the procedures, we have the Act, so we want to make sure that everything is aligned accordingly.

But I can assure Kenyans, now that the commission is in place, Kenyans will begin to see action.
