NCIC's Delayed Response to Ruto's Remarks Sparks Debate in Kenya Kenya's National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has faced criticism for its delayed response to remarks made by former Deputy President William Ruto. The NCIC's condemnation, coming days after Ruto's comments, has raised questions about the commission's independence and its responsiveness to potentially divisive statements. Ruto's remarks, which touched upon the 2007-2008 post-election violence, were deemed inflammatory by some. However, the NCIC's delayed reaction has fueled speculation that political considerations influenced their decision. One commentator stated, "The NCIC's late response suggests a lack of urgency and raises concerns about their impartiality."

The situation highlights the ongoing challenges in Kenya's political landscape, where tensions between different groups remain a concern.
