The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) was established following the 2008 post-election violence, as one of the agencies to help re-establish sobriety in Kenya. It has been going about its work ever since, with the media expecting it to go after those spouting hate speech.
However, NCIC was not given prosecutorial powers, and so it has often been described as “a toothless bulldog” – despite working closely with other institutions that possess such powers. Its budget has also been limited.
