内罗毕消息 —— 前副总统里加蒂·加查瓜（Rigathi Gachagua）将不会在8月27日出席国家凝聚力和融入委员会（NCIC）的听证会，他已告知该委员会，自己届时将因既定的海外行程不在国内。\n\n加查瓜通过其律师表示，他的行程在委员会发出传唤要求其于8月27日下午2点就其在多个公开场合发表的涉嫌煽动性言论出面说明之前，就已经安排妥当且广为人知。\n\n在一封日期为2026年8月20日的信函中，基拉古·瓦图塔公司律师事务所（Kiragu Wathuta & Company Advocates）的律师表示，加查瓜将于8月26日至10月20日不在国内，因此无法出席NCIC的听证会。\n\n律师表示，此次行程的相关情况超出了他们当事人的控制范围，并请求委员会考虑到其无法出席的实际情况。\n\n通过WhatsApp和LinkedIn关注最新头条新闻\n\n律师表示：阁下完全准备好并乐意在任何职能范围内协助委员会，并在充分信息和全面披露的基础上参与任何合法的调查、质询或诉讼程序。\n\n此前，NCIC传唤加查瓜，要求其对据称在维希加（Vihiga）、基西（Kisii）和梅鲁（Meru）发表的言论作出解释。该委员会正在调查这些言论是否违反了“国家凝聚力和融入法案”中关于仇恨言论和煽动罪的规定。\n\n在解释缺席原因的同时，加查瓜的律师还对指控的呈现方式提出了异议，他们指出，NCIC的传唤令中包含的是部分摘录，而非其当事人完整言论。

原文原文 / Original Text

Nairobi — Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua will not appear before the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) on August 27 after informing the commission that he will be out of the country on a pre-planned foreign trip.

Through his lawyers, Gachagua said his trip had been scheduled and publicly known before the commission issued the summons requiring him to appear at 2pm on August 27 over alleged inflammatory remarks made at various public forums.

In a letter dated August 20, 2026, lawyers from Kiragu Wathuta & Company Advocates said Gachagua would be out of the country from August 26 to October 20, making it impossible for him to attend the NCIC session.

The lawyers said the circumstances surrounding the trip were beyond their client's control and asked the commission to take his unavailability into account.

"His Excellency is ready and willing to assist the Commission in any capacity and to participate in any lawful investigation, inquiry or proceedings on the basis of full information and full disclosure," the lawyers said.

The response comes after NCIC summoned Gachagua to explain remarks allegedly made in Vihiga, Kisii and Meru. The commission is investigating whether the statements violated provisions of the National Cohesion and Integration Act relating to hate speech and incitement.

While explaining his absence, Gachagua's lawyers also challenged the manner in which the allegations had been presented, arguing that the NCIC summons contained excerpts rather than the full statements attributed to their client.
