The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has summoned former Makadara MP Reuben Ndolo to appear before it on October 26, 2026, over political remarks he made at Jesus Teaching Ministry Church in Donholm, Embakasi East Constituency, Nairobi.
In a summons dated October 19, 2026, the Commission directed Ndolo to appear at its offices on the 17th floor of Britam Tower, Upper Hill, Nairobi, at 2pm for a hearing into the remarks made on Sunday, October 18.
The commission is investigating the utterances under various provisions of the National Cohesion and Integration Act, including sections relating to prohibited conduct, hate speech and the promotion of peaceful relations among communities.
In the remarks cited in the summons, Ndolo praised Apostle Bishop Maiyuru for his work and recalled their political association, including how Mayuru had supported him and his political allies during their early days in politics.
Ndolo also spoke about the political influence of his allies, saying they had worked together across different parts of the country, including Busia, Luanda and Bondo.
He further referred to political differences surrounding former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and his relationship with another politician identified in the statement as Junet, while defending his own political association with Gachagua.
Ndolo said he had supported Gachagua at a time when he had little political influence, recalling that Gachagua had helped him acquire a Land Rover and a vehicle from Brothake.
He also referred to political developments in Nyanza and challenged those criticising their association to consider the history of their relationship.
The NCIC said Ndolo would be given an opportunity to respond to the allegations, present evidence and make representations for consideration before the commission makes a determination.
The summons warns that failure to appear at the specified place and time could lead to the issuance of an arrest warrant, as well as possible criminal or contempt proceedings.
The commission, established under the National Cohesion and Integration Act, is mandated to promote national unity and harmony while addressing negative ethnicity, racism, religious intolerance and hate speech.
Ndolo's appearance before the commission is scheduled for October 26, when he is expected to respond to the matter under investigation.
The summons does not constitute a finding of wrongdoing, and the commission is yet to make a determination on the remarks.
