Wakuu,
ile ishu ya 'Hate Speech' na wabunge fulani Kenya, sasa imebidi vyombo vya dola vichukue mkondo.
Inasemekana jamaa wamezuiwa na polisi kujibu maswali.Habari zaidi mtapata tukishazipokea.
Kenya sasa sijui inaelekea wapi this time around but I hope justice prevails against such people who
incite peaceful wananchi to go after each others throats.

Two Kenyan Members of Parliament, one of them an assistant minister, have been arrested over remarks they made last week that authorities say border on incitement.
Police arrested Mt Elgon MP Fred Kapondi at his Continental House office in Nairobi Tuesday and he was taken to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) headquarters for questioning.
Assistant roads minister Wilfred Machage and Kuria MP was arrested when he presented himself to the CID.
Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere said Dr Machage, Mr Kapondi and Cheregany MP Joshua Kutuny were recording statements with the police and were expected to be charged Wednesday.
Higher education minister William Ruto is also being sought over hate speech claims.
The two MPs were accused of making inflammatory statements during the launch of the No secretariat in Nairobi on Wednesday last week.
They said certain communities must be prepared to leave their constituencies if the proposed Constitution is ratified by Kenyans on August 4.
MPs Joshua Kutuny and Charles Keter are also at Mazingira House - the CID headquarters - but it was not immediately clear whether they were answering summons for questioning.
