Estimated read time 1 min read

Kenya High Court has overturned the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) decision to ban the use of hatupangwingwi phrase during campaigns.

In a judgment delivered by Justice Antony Ndung’u on Thursday, July 14, the court noted that the Commission did not follow due process when banning the phrase alongside other words that were classified as hate speech and incitement to violence.

The Judge also overturned the decision to ban the phrase watajua hawajui, loosely translated to they will know they don’t know.
