Cherargei Asks NCIC to Investigate Gachagua Over Alleged Ethnic Profiling

Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei said he had written to the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) on July 27, 2026, asking it to investigate remarks by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Cherargei argued that some remarks linked the Kalenjin community to criminality and insecurity. That is the senator’s allegation; the filing does not establish that Gachagua broke the law.

What Cherargei asked the commission to do

Citizen Digital reported that the letter asked the NCIC to review statements made at rallies, in interviews and at press briefings, including remarks after the reported abduction of MP George Koimburi. Cherargei asked the commission to assess the statements and take any action it considered lawful.

What the report does not establish

A request for an investigation is not the same as an NCIC finding, a charge or a court judgment. This article has not verified a later decision by the commission. Any response or outcome should be added only when a reliable report or the NCIC confirms it.
